@AccReader @FrancesKingsto2 Happy Birthday AR 🎊🎆🎊🎆🎊🎆

Celebrating #WorldBookDay and 40 years of #AcceleratedReader today across our London, Swindon and Houghton teams. There were bookish games, brilliant fancy dress and plenty of reading joy. @FrancesKingsto2 shared a reflection on AR’s beginnings, reminding us that it started with a simple idea to help children love reading. Forty years later AR continues to support teachers, librarians and families in helping every learner build confidence through books. As we move through the National Year of Reading, our mission remains clear. We’re here to help every child find a reading home. Here’s to the next chapter.
