How I Calculate Accelerated Reader Scores
I look at your percentage accuracy each month in AR. I count this accuracy towards your Reading Comprehension GRADE.
The monthly report I will send home shows your percentage accuracy.
IF YOU EARN 10 POINTS FOR THE MONTH
I give you a score out of 100% that counts toward your Reading Comprehension grade.
This score is based on your overall PERCENTAGE achievement on quizzes for the month, NOT the number of points you earned.
For example:
If you earned 10 points and achieved an overall 85% accuracy, I give you 85 percentage points. If you achieved an overall 97% accuracy, I give you 97 percentage points.
IF YOU DO NOT EARN 10 POINTS FOR THE MONTH
I take 10 percentage points away for every point you are missing.
For example:
If you had 85% accuracy but earned only 4 points, I give you 25 percentage points (85% - 60% because you were 6 points short).
If your total percentage accuracy and total points are too low for me to subtract anything, then I just give you 5%.
