Students who achieved their AR targets …


Percentage Correct


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.

Points


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


Your Book Level Target is set at the low end of your ZPD.

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

This means you should never be below your target.

Explain what happened with your reading this half-term.


e.g. I chose one long book to read and took too long to read it. Because of this, I didn’t earn enough Points to meet my target.

Be sure to record what you’re reading in your reading log.
