Accelerated Reader:
As part of the year 7 and 8 curriculum, students participate in the Accelerated Reader program, designed to promote reading for pleasure and boost reading ability. Each student completes regular assessment to work out their reading range, and then chooses books to read from within that range. After they finish each book, students take short quizzes to get instant results on how well they are reading. They can take quizzes during their Accelerated Reader lessons, or any time the library is open either before or after school. Every book they read is worth points, which add up throughout the year. Each half term there are prizes awarded in each class for the students who have read the most words, earned the most points, and made the biggest improvement in reading. Students who get 100% correct in any quiz will become members of the 100% Club for their class, and students who total 1,000,000 words read will become members of the Millionaire’s Club.

Bedrock Learning
All of our students in Years 7, 8 and 9 complete Bedrock homework each week. This is to support their vocabulary acquisition. This is completed online, on the link below. Students are able to access the website through their google login. Students also have access to grammar skills, if they wish to complete additional work.
