AR PTS 23 = Testing Points is 23
2. AR RL = Accelerated Reader Reading Level Example:
AR RL 9.5 = Reading Level is 9 th Grade 5 th Month

Although those instances are rare, it will be the STUDENTS RESPONSIBILITY to check the AR List from the computer to make sure that they are reading an AR book! It is not the LMT or the teacher’s responsibility.
