small medium large Each child is assigned a reading level at the beginning of the year based on the results of his/her STAR Test, a reading level assessment test or on their past year's color dot. After being assigned a color (reading level for books), they are assigned a points goal. Your student should have a 9-weeks goal, as well as small three week goals to keep him on track. Please encourage your student by asking him/her how many points they have. Ask them how much longer until goal. This will help keep them actively reading for AR practice. The color dot system is used to make it easier for your child to find their level books. Each color has a different set of requirements detailing how many books they have to read, how many points the books can have, what kinds of books they must read, and any Award Winners they may have to try. This exposes them to many types of books, different series, and ensures that they read some of the longer books in the upper levels. Below is an detail of reading levels and books: under 1.0 yellow 1.0-1.5 yellow star 1.6-2.0 green 2.1-2.5 blue 2.6-3.0 red 3.1-3.5 pink 3.6-4.0 white 4.1-4.5 orange 4.6-5.0 light blue 5.1-5.5 purple 5.6-6.0 light green 6.1-7.0 brown 7.1-9.0 black over9.0 red star If you look for books at your local library, you will need to look at the book level because their color system may be different. ***Once a student is reading two color dot grade levels above their actual grade level, it is the student's option to not go on to the next color until the next year.
