Middle Years

AR is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor children’s independent reading practice. Your child picks a book at his/her own level and reads it at his/her own pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz on the computer - passing the quiz is an indication that your child has understood what has been read.

AR gives both children and teachers feedback based on the quiz results which the teacher then uses to help the child set targets and ongoing reading practice.

Accelerated Reader helps motivate children of all abilities to read more and better books for pleasure. In addition to a significant increase in library usage, schools using Accelerated Reader report an average of two years reading growth in just one year, with some seeing up to four years growth in the same period.

Develop a life-long love of reading with Collins Big Cat, the primary reading programme with a difference. Collins Big Cat teaches children to read accurately, fluently and with enjoyment, putting a range of reading strategies into practice whilst thinking about meaning.
