How AR Encourages Students to Read
At Benteen we celebrate our students' AR progress with incentives, by placing their names on our infamous AR Board, and recognizing them during our monthly Morning Meeting. Sometimes we are able to gift our super readers with small tokens. For educators, the reward is to see students develop a love for reading, and perform their level best on standardized tests.
