What are AR goals?

Accelerated Reader is a computer-based program that schools may use to monitor reading practice and progress. It helps teachers guide kids to books that are on kids' individual reading levels. Kids take short quizzes after reading a book to check if they've understood it.

Keeping this in consideration, how do you set an AR goal?

To set the goal for points use the Goal –Setting chart (this can be found on the media center webpage, click on “teacher tools” on the left side of the page). This is the number of points you want the students to get by the end of the marking period. This can also be adjusted as you go along.
