This situation is one of the reasons I find AR so so frustrating! If a 5th
grader is reading at a 9th grade level, she probably loves reading and does
not benefit from AR. Can you talk to her teacher? I have assumed the
role of "making sure a student has read the book" for teachers who feel
that need .

Hi All,
I had a teacher come with a question today and I wanted to reach out to
the group for help. Is anyone familiar with the *"Accelerated Reader Book
Finder" program*? I haven't encountered this program.
This teacher's daughter is *having a hard time finding appropriately
themed books for 10 year olds that are in her "BL*". Her teacher says
that she needs to be reading at least in the 9.0 range... but Heart of
Darkness has a 9.0 BL according to the website. She is required to read two
books that meet this standard per month, and her avid reader is turning
into a stress case about this. Even the books in the middle school English
curriculum don't exceed the 6 BL range.
Wondering if anyone might have any insight or be able to help out with
this?
Thanks so much for any insights you may have!
Jess
