- 1 Fiction book
- 1 NonFiction book

- The scores earned on your AR tests will be entered into Skyward as part of your AR grade. 80% is a passing score.
- It is your responsibility to choose books above your lower ZPD range.
**You will be given a letter with your ZPD range and reading suggestions after you take the
STAR test.
- All AR tests must be taken with Mrs Mittge during class or before/after school.

Extra Credit:
- Additional AR tests will earn you 10 extra credit points per book (maximum of 5 books =50 points).
- You must earn an 80% or better on “extra” tests to receive extra credit.
- Because nonfiction AR tests tend to be more difficult than fiction tests, you may use your NonFiction AR Notes on the test!
- See Mrs Mittge for AR Notes pages.
