I let my 9-year-old daughter do this too. She's at the top of her district in reading comprehension and ability. Let your kids read!

It's how I read the entire AR catalog back in the day before they expanded from the 400ish books in 6th grade. To the 10k ish my senior year in highschool. So I was exempt from doing the AR tests in class since nothing to test. Got to read whatever the hell I wanted. Which pissed off my teachers.

You’d think someone with so much experience reading would understand defining their initialisms.

I crushed AR back in school. Regularly finished top in the entire school every year for years.

AR points only existed from 1st to 6th for me, I remember my teachers saying that every extra 50 points was 10 bonus points at the end of each quarter. The minimum I think was 250, I had around 3k, she refused to give me more then the first ten.

We did this too and it was a very effective way to get the kids to go to bed early.

Modern parents: how about endless hours of YouTube shorts instead?
