11. Accelerated Reader Aim: To raise pupil enjoyment and confidence
when reading.
We give each child a book they should be able to access independently, without becoming frustrated.
The focus is on the comprehension, rather than just decoding the words.
Will enable us to further understand what your
child needs for reading support.
Please don’t worry if a book seems ‘lower’ than what your child
may have read before! This is part of developing them as
independent, fluent readers with a comprehensive understanding
of a variety of texts.
