On AR books, our school let elementary kids go the to middle school to check out books and take tests. I also believe that there is a mechanism for teachers to write their own tests, but I don't know how this is done and it would involve the teacher reading the book, too.
On self advocacy, when DS was being shy about talking to one of his teachers, I wrote a letter that basically said, "DS has some things he would like to discuss with you, but is feeling shy. Would you please set up a lunch meeting with him?" It worked beautifully.
