Accelerated Reader scheme

At Cecil Jones we understand that reading affects all aspects of learning and we strive to create a positive culture of reading for our students.

All Year 7 and Year 8 students take regular reading tests on Accelerated Reader. These tests help to give students a reading age and recommended reading level which will help them to progress. This data is shared with students, parents and staff to ensure an understanding of levels and how we can assist students to become the best readers they can be. Book levels are clearing displayed in our Library Resource Learning Centre.

Alongside testing we also combine a reward and success system which recognises personal targets and inter-tutor competition. When students have finished reading a book they can take a quiz on it, if they pass the quiz the word count of that book is added to their word count total. Totals are updated weekly and students can also check their own progress in their account.

Top Readers from each form are celebrated in weekly updates as well as which Tutor has the most increased word count.

Individual badge winners are updated regularly to help us show recognition for all their hard work and progress as a Reading Champion! These can be found towards the back of the weekly school’s newsletters. These can be found on the school’s website.

Word Count Prizes:

  • 250,000 – Certificate
  • 500,000 – Bronze Bookworm Badge and Certificate
  • 1 Million – Silver Bookworm Badge and Certificate
  • 2 Million – Gold Bookworm Badge and Certificate
  • 3 Million – Golden Owl Badge and Certificate
  • 4 Million – A Choice of Book for the Library

One Year 7 student says

"I love our drop everything and read tutor time because I love reading. I enjoy learning new things and being in another world. The quizzes are really fun and I can't wait to get my bookworm badge"
