Students should read books at their appropriate reading level to continue to grow in their reading ability. 30 minutes a day is set aside at school most days for accelerated reader (AR). I encourage students to read books at home for AR also. In order to check if a book is appropriate, you can go to the AR website and type the title or author in to find the book’s level. Here is a link to the website:
