Scoil Santain is now taking part in the Accelerated Reader Programme. For those of you who have never heard of this, Accelerated Reader is goal-driven reading program which aims to encourage students to read more and to increase their literacy levels.
Aims of the Accelerated Reader programme:
- To improve literacy
- To foster a love of reading
- To create a pleasurable and fun atmosphere around improving students’ reading ability
- Students take an online reading test (known as a STAR test)
- Results of test guide students to a particular level of book
- Levels are colour-coded (library book stickers correspond to levels)
- Students take a short online quiz on completion
- There is a teacher and parent link for history of child’s reading
- Encourage your child to read for 20-30 minutes every evening to help with progress
- Read with your child if they are reluctant to read alone (this is known as ‘paired reading’)
- Make this a positive activity at the end of the day – reading for pleasure rather than homework
