The AR reading goals for both 3rd grade classes are basically the same. We have library once a week, but students are able to use library flex time every day of the week to exchange for new books. We ask students to read at least 3 Non-fiction books a week. That is a total of 1.5 AR points in non-fiction. The rest is free choice whether that be chapter-books or everyone books. Students are given anywhere from 30-45 minutes a day to read and AR test at school. Whether they choose to use this time wisely is up to them.
