The MES Library Media teachers and staff work hard to help students maximize their growth in reading, by we encouraging the students to select books within their personal ZPD reading range. The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is a reading range that is derived from their performance on the STAR Reading Test. The customized reading ranges allow students to select books that minimize their frustration while giving them opportunities to enhance their reading skills. In order to ensure that the book levels are accurate, we rely on the AR Book Find website. Information such as the quiz number, book level, and point value from this website are recorded in the back of the library books to help guide students as they select books. Students are encouraged to use this website at home to help label their own personal collection of books. For quick access to the AR Book Finder link, click on the button below.
