AR Point Grade Scale
ZPD & Point Chart
AR Program Changes
Effective January 21, 2010
Student
goals will be aligned with the Renaissance Learning Accelerated Reader
Goal Setting Chart. Which means
some student’s point goals will change.
Students
will be asked to take notes while reading non-fiction books. Notes on non-fiction books may be used
when taking AR tests.
Students
will be asked the following question before AR testing: Was this book read to you, did someone
read this book with you, or did you read it on your own? This will help teachers monitor each
student’s amount of independent reading.
Students
will be allowed to read any book regardless of the reading level. Students will need to keep track of
their average reading level and keep the average within their ZPD
range. Teachers and Media Center staff will help to monitor
student choices to ensure that a student’s average stays within their ZPD
and that they will experience success with Accelerated Reader.
