Does anyone think that GT kids who are self motivated to read should be required to participate in AR? My DD(9)reads well above her grade level. She is in 3rd grade in a school that only goes to 5th grade, conequently, the library does not have many books at her level that she is interested in that are also on the AR test list.
I really think that she should be encouraged to continue reading and if they want to give her credit 'like AR' she should be asked to write a report or given an oral test. Instead, they want to deduct from her ELA grade for not making her required points.
What say you experienced GT guides?
