We have developed a new website that will explain the new version if you are interested in upgrading.

With all these new quizzes I have been thinking about how a school matches their library collection to the available quizzes.  AR Advantage customers can access AR Bookguide as part of their annual subscription.  AR Desktop customers can access the AR Quiz Manager tool developed, sold and supported by Libcode Library Systems.  But what about a simple service to help schools just do a one off match of their libraries to the AR Quiz list…

I am not sure that anyone really wants this service, but it might make things very much easier to find quizzes in these new big releases.

So I am offering you a one off free quiz match!

All you need to do is send me an export from your library management system.  If you send me a US MARC or MARC21 format file of your library collection, and your reading resources if you want, I will match that to the current quiz list and email you back a spreadsheet detailing the books in your school that matches a current AR Quiz.

The ideas in the book are all based on the use of AR points to motivate students.  Remembering that AR points are a unit of measure and nothing more.  The higher the points for a book the the longer that book.  By setting each student in your class an AR Points Target you can really focus on increasing the Quantity of each student’s Reading Practice.  The ideas in the book are focussed on the % of a students target that they achieve, thus allowing all students in the class to compete equally regardless of their reading level or capability.

I hope you can use some of these to motivate the students reading practice in your classroom.
