A.R. - How do I get started?
by Lily
Jul 29, 2010
Hi all,

My school is gradually rolling out AR for grades 3-5. Though the basic features of the reading program are clear, the nuts and bolts of organizing my classroom library is still a little confusing. I'm trying to categorize books, but most aren't even found on the the AR Bookfind site.

How have some of you seasoned AR users managed? Any suggestions/advice is appreciated.

Thanks, Lily

Ima Teacher All of my AR books are organized just like they are in the library. The fiction books are shelved alphabetically by author's last name. I don't have my non-fiction organized that well. I don't have that many of them, and they're all kind of stuck together on a shelf.

Lily Thanks for responding...

How do your students identify the books at their AR level? Are books color-coded or labeled in some other way?

Leigh Our School has had AR for several years. Books are color coded on the outside spine by reading levels (yellow, green, blue, red, pink....). Inside the books the reading level is written (eg. 2.1, 3.2) the number of points that they are worth is also written (0.5, 1.0, 2.0). Classroom teachers code their own classroom library books with the same dot...See More
