AR FAQ's

How many points do I need? 

Ask your teacher to find out how many points you need because each teacher has different requirements.

You will need fiction and  nonfiction AR points. 

at least 3 of the 15 have to be nonfiction.  

For example, if you read the nonfiction book, Unbroken, and it's worth 24 points, you have reached your goal, BUT

 If you read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, you will need to find additional books because it's fiction and doesn't count for the 3 nonfiction points.

Can I find a short book worth a lot of points? 

No, you can't because points are based on the number of words in a book.  

Don't let font fool you either.  A 7 point book is always longer than a 5 point book, no matter what size the font! 

Can I test on my own book? 

Of course!  We try to provide books in the most convenient place possible--the middle of the school, but it's not required that you read only our library books.  

In fact, you can check out books from other libraries to read also, such as Mt. Zion Public and Decatur Public.

 You can also return those books to our Jr. High Library when you are finished, and we will get them returned to the correct library.
