You should always be aiming for 85% or higher.

This means you achieve mostly 90% and 100% on quizzes.

If you are achieving less than this, it means you are not understanding enough of your book and might need to choose a lower Book Level next time.

Everyone has a different Points Targets.

The targets are based on your ZPD range and how many days are in the half-term.

You might read lots of short books to achieve your target, or fewer longer books. Either way, if you read regularly, you should meet it!

Book Level

If the ZPD in the picture were yours, your target would be a 3.2.

This means you should never be below your target.
