Every student is encouraged to read books and take AR tests. AR goals are set every 9 weeks and are based on each child's reading level and range (ZPD range) using data from the STAR assessment. There are books in our classroom and in our school library that may be read for AR. You may also read books from home. Students are expected to maintain an 85% average on the tests they take. We have silent reading time every day for students to read self selected books for AR. Students are able to take tests in the classroom, during Library time and when we go to the computer lab.
