[LM_NET] Accelerated Reader grading

[Rebecca Ciannello <arciannello@NEPTUNE.K12.NJ.US>]

We have gone to the Enterprise program for Accelerated Reader, and my supervisor 
would like information on how to assign points/grades.
We can only allot 20 min, 3 times per week for reading time; not the 30 minutes 
suggested.

According to the "Goal-Setting Chart," for example, if you have a ZPD of 3.2 - 5.0, 
you should have 1 pt per week, 6.3 pts per 6 weeks, and 9.7 pts. per 9 weeks for 
DAILY practice.

Would you recommend adjusting the points needed if they are not given that time?

How do you handle grading, I guess is my question. We need a little practical 
guidance. We want to make sure the students' grades are not adversely affected by 
this program, but we also want them to know it matters.

Thanks again for all your help. I will post a hit.
