[LM_NET] TAR: AR Points

[Melanie Parker <melanieparker@MSN.COM>]

Greetings to everyone,

I am a second year media specialist charged with the task of setting up 
Accelerated Reader in my school for grades 3-5.  My question is in regards 
to the point ranges you set for winning prizes whether they be from an AR 
store or homework passes, etc.  I've searched the archives and found loads 
of useful information, but not really anything on how to initially set up 
point goals.

We are an inner-city school with about 100% of students on free lunch.  
Reading, for most of our kids, is not high on their priority list.  I want 
the students to be successful, but still want to challenge them as well.

Any thoughts on initial goals would be helpful.  Thank you!
