All students in years 7, 8 and 9 at Connaught School for Girls participate in a three-year literacy programme to boost their reading levels. This programme is led by the English Department, Heads of Years 7, 8 and 9 and their Form Tutors. The programme, called Accelerated Reader, works with the following key steps:
- Students taking an initial 15-minute multiple choice reading test on a school computer to determine their personal reading level range.
- Students choosing a book within their reading level range from our library, bookshop or home bookshelf then reading during dedicated school time and at home.
- Students taking a 10-minute multiple choice comprehension quiz during a school lunchtime or after-school club on the book they have just finished reading.
- Students gaining points for every successful comprehension quiz, leading to individual and tutor group prizes and progress towards their individual points target
- Students taking further reading tests at the end of each half term with the school analysing each student’s revised reading level range and their progress and making interventions as necessary.
