Reading
Remember reading is the best way to develop our vocabulary and understanding. Once you have read any of your set books you can do the quiz to gain 100 VIVO’s. This will also benefit and count towards your reading progress targets.
Additionally, if you are doing other books in other subjects or just a book at home you are enjoying, you can do the quiz and gain the same rewards!
Visit the website below to complete quizzes on books you have read.
