A.R. 
In my class when a student takes a test and gets between 90 -100% they can press the EASY button. I purchased this at Staples for 5 bucks...who knew that was the best $5 I have spent in a long time? The kids love to press that when they do well. **FOR PARENTS** - There seems to be some confusion on what AR is...it is an OPTIONAL program that some teachers choose to use. It is done INDEPENDENTLY. So therefore your child needs to be self motivated if they are to move on through the AR program. They will move up to a new color when they have passed a series of tests at the color they are on. Remember this is a level they can read independently, it is different than their DRA ( reading group ) level which is instructional...thank you!! We have P.T.A. motivators and awards where they get their name up on our AR Wall of Fame in the office hallway. Also they get special awards from the PTA when they obtain higher points. Pencils, bracelets, bookmarks, water bottles, dog tags, etc. I have incentives in my classroom that don’t cost me much. Sit with a friend during DEAR time for a week, no homework pass, popcorn during DEAR, treasure chest, sit anywhere you want in the room for a whole day. Also I got this idea from another teacher ...the first person to hit 50 points will get a webkinz. * updated 0-5 points
5-10 points
10-20 points
20-30 points 30-40 points 40-50 points 50-60 points 100+
