Accelerated Reader & Star Reading North East

Rose Wood Academy, Middlesbrough

The biggest impact we’ve seen since introducing AR & Star Reading has been the number of children taking quizzes and the recognition of high impact, quality texts for reading. It helps with learning as teachers can print off a whole class diagnostic report once a week which is shared with children.

Since introducing Accelerated Reader we’ve noticed that children are more keen to read – wanting to score well and really thinking about their responses.

Star Reading has supported our staff mostly due to the accuracy on tests and knowing which children to target for interventions.

Both Accelerated reader and Star Reading have had a great impact on reading in school so far and the tests and in school rewards we give based on these outcomes help children to want to become better readers.
