reading level and comprehension. They should be getting AR books from the
library to read, after they have read the book and are sure they understand
it they can take a test over that book online at school. If they do well on
the test they will earn points. Each student has a goal of a certain number
of points they are trying to achieve before the end of the 1st 9 weeks.
