The lower end Students' Zone of Proximal Development is written by the teacher on the back of the library card. Students are retested in S.T.A.R. at the middle and end of the year. Students may only take one AR test per day unless the teacher deems otherwise. Students may take tests in classrooms, the Media Center or the computer lab. This is key.
Flexibility is the key.
We aim to make appropriate reading practice help the student become a better reader. We do not aim to be slaves to rules. This does not apply to AR Nonfiction books, which are intershelved in the regular collection. Students need to visit the Media Center as often as possible to check out more books, and they need to take an AR test as soon as possible after completing the book. Rather, it is desirable for our eager readers to be able to visit the library at the point of need.
