I remember reading in the archives about teachers/librarians writing
questions to go with the AR program.  Can anyone tell me how this is done?
I'm going into an elementary school which is using AR in a very competitive
way. It is my understanding that students are not allowed to check out any
books which are not AR (and in their ZPD range).  This was decided by the
teachers and the Reading Renaissance Committee.  This applies even after
they've met their "goal" points.  This eliminates a lot of the non-fiction
books from consideration because we don't have tests to go with them.  I'm
against restricting what children choose to read anymore than absolutely
necessary and would like to encourage the use of ALL the books in the media
center.  I've also heard some complaints from parents and teachers that
sometimes the AR questions are too "nit picky".  Being able to write tests
to go with some of these books seems like a good solution to these problems.
Any suggestions?
