AR Book Find
Parents can use this tool at home to find out what reading level a book is. Simply type in the title of the book and look for the matching picture and/or author (if more than one option available). If for some reason the title doesn't come up, you can also search the author and scroll until you find the title/book you're looking for. Although not all books are in the AR database, most books are! If your child reads an AR book at home (or if you read one to them), they can test on it at school!
