Our First Word Millionaire 📚

27th Feb 2026

Our first Accelerated Reader Word Millionaire for 

Reaching 1,000,000 words read (and successfully passing the comprehension quizzes on those books) demonstrates exceptional dedication, focus, and a real love of reading. This milestone isn’t just about quantity—it’s proof of consistent effort in building vocabulary, comprehension skills, and confidence through independent reading with Accelerated Reader.

Well done to Aoife (what an amazing start to the school year!), and huge congratulations to the teachers, parents, and school for fostering such a strong reading culture.

It’s especially exciting to see it happen so early in 2026, setting a brilliant example and sparking friendly competition. Let’s see how many more children from P3 to P7 can join the ranks and reach 1,000,000 words (or beyond!) by the end of the school year. Keep those books flowing—every page counts! 📚✨

Parents, if you’re looking for ways to support at home: encourage daily reading, chat about books, and check AR Bookfinder for quiz-ready titles that match your child’s level and interests.

A massive well done once again to our trailblazing Word Millionaire Aoife and keep turning those pages! 👏🚀
