Accelerated Reader COMPREHENSION is the key to school success! Students are able to independently access to their AR records (goals,
points, etc.) in their classroom. AR tests may only be taken at school. Monthly AR Grade: Based on a 10 point scale. To earn an A+, students
will need to read books that will total at least 10 points for that month. It shouldn’t take more than one week to finish a book unless it is a big one.
The sooner students reach 80 points, the sooner they start attending the monthly READING ROYALTY luncheons. So…get reading!!
