Using AR guidelines will tell you it is not meant to be a grade but that students with their teachers' help should set goals based on how much time then spend reading, what their ZPD is and then using the goal setting chart that AR does to make those goals. We have done this from the first and have been successful. We also use the AR certification process to challenge students to read appropriate materials and help guide them to those. We still allow them to check out 'free choice' materials (translate to non AR) which keeps those who don't like AR happy. To those out there on the list, please don't start a 'discussion' on the merits of AR. Some of us like it, some of us hate it, some of us don't care. The truth of the matter is we have it and thus I support it. If done correctly it does help kids find books to read; I have never made the assumption that it will make life long readers...
