Update from Tom's secondary school report!

I have been meaning to email you to update you on Tom’s progress.  All is going well in secondary school. His school operates the Accelerated Reader Programme and when he took a test at the start of the school year he faired pretty well – he certainly wasn’t bottom of his class! The results determine the “band” of books they are able to take out. At the end of a book the child takes a short online test to check how much they have remembered and the school looks to them to get 80%+. Tom is finally making sensible choices – he has read 5 or 6 books since the start of the school year and happily now reads before going to sleep. At Christmas he was given a Certificate for Best Attitude to Learning in Your ARP Class and was chuffed to bits!
