Warning.

I took this video while driving home last week. I drive a stick. The video is sideways. If it’ll bug you close your eyes and listen.

Rapunzel’s school uses the Accelerated Reading System. In short books are assigned a level and a possible point value.

It works like this:

Where the Red Fern Grows

BL (book Level)    4.9 (Fourth Year Ninth Month)

AR Points (Possible points to earn on the AR Test) 11.0

This is where it gets interesting,

Nancy Drew books that we have fall between 4.0 – 6.0

The last book I read, The Red Tent, is a 6.5.

The book I’m reading now, A Million Little Pieces, is a 4.2.

Rapunzel’s new books the Sea of Trolls, 4.7, and Land of the Silver Apples, 5.0, have higher levels than what I’m reading.

Check out what your kids are reading.  You might be surprised.
