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!) With kindergarteners, AR is not always seen as developmentally appropriate. I would definitely begin by having students take tests together ( as a class) to show the process and really celebrate the correct answers and use the wrong answers as a teachable moment to go back and find the correct answer. Make it a big deal when they do well! Offer incentives for those that take tests independently and do well. For instance, a change to visit the library for each book they read and get a 80% or above on the AR test and a piece of candy. Once a student reads and earns 10 points, add their name to the wall for the 10 point club. Make it a big deal! Anything to make them excited about reading!
