All students in Years 3-6 have the opportunity to participate in an on-line comprehension program for home and classroom reading. After completing an on-line comprehension test, students are allocated a Lexile score that matches a huge variety of reading books which are borrowed through the school library. The book is read during Silent Reading in class and can also be taken home. When they have finished reading, students log onto the Literacy Pro Website and complete an on-line multiple choice comprehension quiz. To pass the quiz and receive Lexile points they must score 7/10 or higher. After each successful quiz the students are allocated points. Students collect their points and aim to achieve a target set by their teacher each term.
When students reach 120 points over the whole year they receive a very special Lexile badge and certificate. The overall highest point achievers for each year level are acknowledged at the end of year assembly with a trophy and a book voucher.
Students are able to monitor their progress and goals and teachers are provided with meaningful data and reports to facilitate reading development.
If students want to complete a quiz or check out their progress at home, just click on the ‘Scholastic Learning Zone’ button, log in and away you go. Please see the classroom teacher or library staff if you have any questions or problems logging on as we have a special login just for our school.
