We have our first Accelerated Reader Millionaire… We are very pleased to announce that, since September, one of our Year 7 students, Poppy, has read the grand total of 57 books, amounting to 1,205,881 words. Accelerated Reader is a computer-based programme that uses to monitor reading practice and progress. It helps us to guide students to books that are on the student’s individual reading level; the student takes a short quiz after reading each book to check if they have understood it.
