I believe that AR now has a web site now.  You might find information
there.  We use AR, and students *are* able to view and print their
reading records, but the teacher and monitors of the program are *very*
involved -- we want to make sure that students are properly challenged by
the right reading level and that no one is "helping" another student out
with points. (We think one of our students was being *paid* to take tests
in other students names!  We remedied that right quick!)
