Membership
All students are automatically members of the library and are allowed to borrow 3 items at one time for a period of 4 weeks. One of these books must be their Accelerated Reading Book
Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader All Year 7 and 8 students participate in the Accelerated Reader Program.
The Accelerated Reader program is a computerised program that tests reading comprehension. Students select books on their reading level, which is determined by the ‘Star Reading Assessment’. The books are read independently and once finished a comprehension test is taken on the computer. Each book is worth a certain amount of points based on its length and reading level.
Accelerated Reader enables both the Librarian and English Staff to monitor the progress of each student and guide them to appropriate books for their level and interest.
