Reading
"Strive For Five"
In school, we encourage all children to read with an adult at home at least five times each week - or 'Strive for Five'!
Children who achieve this weekly are rewarded with a special 'Strive for Five' certificate.
In addition, those children who 'Strive for Five' consistently across the term also receive a little 'reward' at the end of each term - this could be an extra playtime, or a movie, or even a sweet treat!
Accelerated Reader
In school, children regularly take 'book quizzes' on an i-pad, after they have finished their reading book. This analyses their understanding of the texts they have read, and children receive certificates and rewards for books read and quizzes passed.
Children of all ages really look forward to taking these book quizzes, which also supports a love of reading and provides another great incentive for children to read regularly both in school and at home!
Accelerated Reader also provides teachers with a wealth of information about children's reading ability, attainment and progress, which builds into their ongoing assessment of children's reading.
