ACCELERATED READER Kim Jervis kimjervis@yahoo.co.uk

RATIONALE  100% of pupils made expected progress from KS1 to KS2 in Writing and Maths but only 97% of pupils made expected progress in reading  High achievers in KS1 weren’t making expected in KS2  7% gender gap  Library books!

RATIONALE When we researched further into Accelerated Reader:

BEFORE WE STARTED  Research and visits to nearby schools.  Labels!  3 online training sessions.  Transfer of data from SIMS to the AR platform.  Whole Staff INSET

STAR ASSESSMENT  STAR Reading ™ assesses reading comprehension and skills for independent readers  All STAR assessments are computer-adaptive tests (CATs).  Approx 20 mins  Ipad/computer/laptop  For every STAR assessment, children receive a scaled score (SS) , which is based on the difficulty of the questions and the number of correct answers.  Scaled Scores relate to three developmental stages: Emergent Reader, Transitional Reader and Probable Reader  The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)  Reading Age  Repeated half termly

ACCELERATED READER  Children choose a book within ZPD range.  Take a quiz within 24 hours.  Pass rate can be altered.  Looking for 100%  Each book has a point score attached depending on length.  Set pupil targets

‘NON - NEGOTIABLES’  20-35 minutes a day scheduled reading time.  Regular access to books  Access to technology to quiz  Time to analyse data

Class Average change to reading age 3F +10 months 3I +1 year 3L +1 year 3 months GROWTH 3W +8 months 4L +10 months 4J +11 months 4M +7 months

Class Average change to reading age 5C +5 months 5J +3 months 5M +10 months GROWTH 6H +6 months 6M +8 months 6J +5 months

HOW IT’S GOING:  Initial buzz  Reading frequency went up.  Class incentives  Trees, raffle tickets, stars.  Librarian analyses data weekly  Liaised with Westbourne  Star Reader wall  Works alongside: Battle of the Books and Reading Buddies

NEXT STEPS  New staff training.  Whole school changes to monitoring in class.  Use Growth Report to identify children who need additional intervention.  Millionaire’s club Reading for pleasure is key for educational outcomes
