Dear Parents,

If you want to find out the AR book level of books you have at home, go to ARbookfinder.com.

Put in the title of the book and it will tell you the AR level and the AR points the book is worth.

I found this website. It has a great list of books.

The Louisiana Department of Education encourages all students to read every day during the summer.  Reading is the biggest factor in your child’s  academic success. Children who read more do better inschool. Our goal is for every student to become a capable reader and to develop alove for reading. Parents can help theirchildren reach that goal by reading to them and with them daily. If your children are already reading, encourage them to read at least 30 minutes daily. Involve them in reading activities at the public library. Help your child see that books are passports tothe world.
