Accelerated Reading

At Cotteridge Primary School, we want our children to appreciate how valuable and

rewarding reading can be. As part of the AR program we will be rewarding pupils for

their individual successes during this process. Raffle tickets for successful quizzes as

well as certificates for the number of books read can be earned throughout the year.

There is also an ultimate goal, to be a “Cotteridge Million Word Reader”. This is

calculated by the number of words in each completed book being added together.
