Taking an Accelerated Reading Star Reading Test

8th May 2020

We are delighted to see that so many of our children in P5 - P7 have been engaging in their Accelerated Reading Programme whilst working from home.  Lots of you have exceeded your targets and in order to give you another target to work towards, we require that you take a Star Reading Test. The Star Reading Test is designed to help find the reading level that you will most likely be successful at.  In order to take a test from home, please follow the instructions below before Sunday 10th May.

The Star Reading Test can be completed between Monday 11th and Friday 22nd May.  If however you complete a reading quiz during this time before you have completed the Star Reading Test your points will not count towards your overall score.  The sooner you complete your test the better!
