Reading – Accelerated Reader A Student Growth Percentile (SGP) offers a dynamic new way of looking at growth (progression) by comparing a student’s growth with that of his or her academic peers nationwide.
Reading – Accelerated Reader How does it work? http://www.renlearn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/What-Parents-need-to-know.pdf
To start… • Children are given 1 decimal value to use for their first ever book selection ‘e.g. 3.2’. Once they have read and quizzed, showing super effort and 80% of questions correct, they will be given a decimal range to select books from ‘e.g. 3.2-4.6’. This first book is to practise the routine and learn the system. Children are assessed 4 times a year using the Star Reading test (20 minutes), so their decimal range will change, along with their reading age and other data we can share with you at parents evening.
Finding Books at Home https://www.arbookfind.co.uk/ • At present, the book they borrow from us will stay in school. • Your children will have their ZPD (decimal number) a link to the Book Finder website, a link to the Home Connect portal and their login/password in homework diaries. https://ukhosted67.renlearn.co.uk/6712756/homeconnect/ Mrs Colley will be running a parent workshop 2.30pm on18th September. Please encourage your children to read within their decimal range at home and spread the joy of reading and books. Please be patient with staff as this is a new venture for us and a lot of time, money and effort has gone into providing this super resource for our students.
