  • 1 Fiction book
  • 1 NonFiction book
  • 1 Book of student choice (Fiction or NonFiction)


  • 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.

Does my book have an AR test?

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.
