I don't believe in it personally. But it is the vehicle in which my son gets to read above level books although independently. The school just got in some new expensive sets of books that are also leveled fiction and nonfiction for leveled guided reading groups but I doubt his teacher will be setting him up in a group of one...he will probably be in the book group with whatever the highest is I his class...not necessarily his outlier level.
With AR, There are actually three kinds of tests in the system...vocabulary, multiple choice comprehension of basic facts of the story, and a third test that tests more literary elements. Not all the books have vocabulary or the lit analysis test.
