Example, end of 1st grade/beginning of 2nd grade goal was J now it is I. Writing comprehension is no longer part of TRC!!! 

Your child’s AR level is based on his/her beginning of year 3D assessment. Your child has to make 80% or higher on each AR reading test. Each student will have a reading goal based on their level.
