Accelerated Reader quizzing is beginning to take off with many students working hard to reach their targets before half-term, over 2500 vivos have been awarded to quiz takers since the beginning of term- remember you get more vivos for passing a quiz, in your ZPD, at 100%.
We also have our first Rocket Readers of the year- Molly Warboyes (yr8) and Taron Devoto-Baldry (yr7)- That’s more than 10 quizzes passed at 100%.
Who will be our first yr7 Cosmic Counter- reading more than a million words in AR quizzed books?
James Barry and Aisling Power are already past 400,000 words with Alex O’Brien almost getting his meteor on the moon (250,000 words).
Yr 8 and 9 readers need to check with the library staff- we can add on last year’s reading totals to move your meteor out into space. All AR readers and quizzers are contributing to the school word count which currently stands at 15, 796, 426 words read in AR quizzed books since Sept.- Well done and just keep reading.

Cosmic Counters
Word Total now stands at over 55,000,000 words read in AR quizzed books since Sept.
Keep Reading
As a new incentive for those aiming towards reading a million words in the AR scheme, we have introduced interim stages.
We have currently have 44 students, mostly year 7, who have read over 250,000 words and we would like to invite them to add their meteor to the Cosmic Counter boards. Please come to the Main Library, North Library when open, or ask during your AR lesson, if your latest TOPS report shows more than 250,000 words read. Students will then be able to move their meteor towards the ‘We’ve read a million words’ Board.
Remember the words are only counted if the quiz is passed- some students have reached a million words in only 7 books, but the average number of quizzes taken to gain a million words is 20 books- The scheme is about reading, not about reading thick books…
Congratulations to William Samuel 7RHM who reached his million words on Tuesday from reading, and quizzing, 16 books.
Dean Salter 9RRG has just reached his million words (Cosmic Counter) and on the same quiz has achieved his Rocket0 10 100% quizzes.- Well done Dean
