the AR goal should be determined by his reading level in AR. There is a goal sheet/formula where the teacher can calculate how high she wants the goal to be. Isn’t he in 4th grade? 10 is completely below his level and would be below the level of my lowest reader!

How is Savannah? Are you still renting your house in VA?
Hope to catch up soon!
