He was upset that he got a 20% on his AR test in school until me, his teacher, the librarian, and the principal stated that the tests for Mark Twain books are geared towards sixth graders.
The teacher verbally quizzed him to see that he actually read it, and then commandeered a small army to back up the praise. He now is not afraid to pick up any book he wants to try, and will pepper his occasional sixth level books with five or six kiddie books.
His most recent AR scoring has him reading at a fourth graders level. His testing comp is about eighty percent.
