  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!)
Accelerated Reading program in itself is a rewarding program. As a parent who really encouraged my child from home to read, the school also encourage grade wide reading. The students who read and received a certain amount of points were given ice cream tokens and picture placed on display by the number of points they'd achieved. I say turn it into a positive reinforcement opportunity.
