Reading Plus and Accelerated Reader are the two programmes used in KS2 to give children the access to a wide range of books and also to allow them to increase their reading fluency. The books that they bring home are extremely important as they will be quizzed upon these in school once they have completed them. They will also read shorter, more focussed texts in Reading Plus that then have a series of comprehension questions after. Thank you for the time that you spend reading and discussing books with your children as it is invaluable in their development and progress across school.
Over the last fortnight, we have two different classes winning the school competition for highest percentage scored.
Reading Plus – Year 4B with 85.5%
Accelerated Reader – Year 5B with 91.3%
Well done to both of those classes. Keep reading everyone!
