Accelerated Reader is a computer program that supports our children with their independent reading practice. The children will have opportunities to read during the school day as well as for their home learning; when they are finished, they take a short quiz on the computer. Passing the quiz is an indication that a child has understood what was read and has been able to recall key information or infer from the text. Accelerated Reader gives feedback based on the quiz results, which the teachers and learning support assistants (LSAs) then use to set goals and direct ongoing reading practice for each individual child.
