All students are expected to either read one book per week in the lower grades, or two novels or chapter book per 9-week period in the upper grades. Their AR grade is based on the comprehension score. However, in cases where students read and test on more than the required number of books, the comprehension score is based on the highest scores for the required number of books for the grade level. Lower grades are required to read 8 books and upper grades 2 books.
