Accelerated Reader Levels should no prevent students from reading for fun.

One of the drawbacks of accelerated reader is that often teachers confuse AR Level with Grade Level and insist that students read books at their level. Unfortunately, the level formula is based on number of words per page and syllables in the words so it is difficult to find higher level books that are interesting. Students should read what they love and a lot of it.
