AR Nonfiction book level

[Teresa Malloy <Tmalloy29@AOL.COM>]

I had a reading teacher recently ask me about the AR reading levels for
non-fiction books.  She was told that when students select non-fiction AR titles
they should  select titles one grade level lower from what AR indicates.  In
other words, if the a student's zpd range ended at 4.5, that student should
select non-fiction books no higher than 3.5.  I would like to know others' opinion
about non-fiction AR reading levels.  Thanks.
