It is started when children reach a higher level of independent reading which usually happens in P.3 or P. 4. It can , of course , start earlier or later depending on progress. Your child will pick a book in the school library according to their reading ability and when finished, will complete a short online quiz on this book. The quiz will help to assess their comprehension or understanding of the book. This information then helps the teacher assess their reading progress and decide how to help them progress further. The reading books selected by the children are within aselected group , therefore , you can be confident that the books that they read are at an appropriate level for them.  \nHow much will my child read during the day?  \nAccording to Renaissance Learning’s research children who read at least 20 minutes per day see the greatest reading gains. In school we will set aside between 20 and 30 minutes of silent reading every day for those pupils involved in the programme.  \nShould my child read AR books at home?  \nYes. Some of the books that your child reads will not be completed during the reading time in school. Encouraging them to read while at home will help them improve further.  \nHow did the school decide on my child’s reading level?  \nAll children involved also complete an AR STAR Reading Assessment at the beginning of the programme and at various stages throughout. Star Reading is a computerised reading assessment tool that uses computer-adaptive technology. The test uses multiple-choice questions and takes approximately 20 minutes.  \nQuestions continually adjust to your child's responses. If your child's response to a question is correct, harder questions will be asked. If your child misses a question, the next question will be easier. This adaptation to children’s responses helps determine their appropriate reading level.  \nWhat is a ZPD?  \nZPD stands for Zone of Proximal Development. A ZPD is simply the range of books that a pupil will read within. They are carefully selected to appropriately challenge a child without causing frustration or loss of motivation with their reading. The ZPD is identified after the children sit the STAR Reading Assessment. This range will change according to a child’s reading progress.  \nMy child’s book has a coloured sticker on the spine and a white sticker on the inside cover. What do they mean?  \nThe coloured sticker indicates the Book Range that the child is reading within. The inside sticker provides a variety of information about the book. The information most useful to parents is the ATOS Book Level and the points available to the reader when he/ she finishes the book.  \nWhat is an ATOS Book Level?  \nAn ATOS book level represents the difficulty of the text. There are 6 levels in total and they range from 0.0-1.9 through to 6. 0+ .  \nHow can my child reach his or her target?  \nEvery time a child reads a book and successfully completes an online quiz , they will receive the allocated points for the book. The points can be found on the sticker on the inside of the book. AR points are based on the difficulty and the length of the book. AR Targets are set each half term, the children are aware of the number of points they must gain, and this is formulated using the following information; ZPD, 25 mins daily reading time and achieving 85% average accuracy in quizzes taken. Depending on the number of questions answered correctly, children will earn points and make their way to their target. Children are rewarded for reaching their targets- this can take many forms. We have encouraged our children to come up with their own way of being rewarded for their achievements. Some children decided to have more time using ICT, others preferred a homework pass or having a non-uniform day.
