Congratulations to Nathaniel, age 11, from Millside Spencer Academy, who has been awarded our Star of the Month for his hard work and dedication to Reading Plus!
At Reading Plus, we take immense pride in the success stories of students who put all their effort into improving their reading fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. We are thrilled to spotlight Nathaniel, a Y6 student from Millside Spencer Academy.
Millside Spencer Academy’s Vice Principal and Year 5/6 Class Teacher, Ash Ward, nominated Nathaniel for “the resilience he has displayed to overcome difficult, secondary-age reading texts and vocabulary”.
Ash shares that Nathaniel’s reading comprehension is at a Year 12 level (Level K on Reading Plus), far beyond his age, and he has an impressive WPM speed exceeding 600.
Nathaniel said: “I really like how there are lots of different texts to choose from, which gives me the freedom to read about subjects I want to. Reading Plus feels like it’s always pushing me to go further and improve, but in a good way.” This sentiment echoes the experiences of countless students who have found joy and success in Reading Plus.
Ash finishes: “Reading Plus has benefited the children at Millside by increasing students’ reading speeds and providing near-limitless opportunities to apply reading skills to texts of their choice. The children enjoy reading on Reading Plus, which is a key factor for success.”
Reading Plus, designed to enhance reading skills and foster a love for learning, has played an essential role in Millside students’ reading development and enjoyment through a diverse range of texts and personalised instruction to meet students at their right level while challenging them to maximise progress.
Nathaniel’s recognition as Star of the Month serves as a testament to his dedication and perseverance. His Reading Plus journey exemplifies the transformative power of Reading Plus and the profound impact it can have on students’ lives.
As we celebrate Nathaniel’s achievements, we also celebrate the collective efforts of teachers, parents/guardians and all staff at Millside Spencer Academy who support students on their path to success. We are delighted to be your trusted reading development partner so that we can empower more students to unlock their full potential and become confident, proficient readers.
Congratulations, Nathaniel! Your hard work and determination inspires us all, and we look forward to witnessing your continued growth and success.
