  Case: AR tests
My students have began taking AR tests. However, it is not required in kindergarten and I do not want them to get burnt out on AR tests before they get to grade in which it was required. How can I motivate students to take AR but not have them get burntout on it?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Inform students this is simply practice and a way for them to get in the habit of taking them before they become graded on it. I would also provide incentives for a certain number of AR test taken and keep a reading chart that keeps track of the number of AR test taken for each student. Turn it into a competition.

Comments: I agree, incentives is a good way to motivate the students. Also telling them it is for practice should make them not get burnt out as easily.
