No, the levels do not correspond. AR creates it's levels by the number of words on a page and the number of pages. That is also how they decide the number of points. If you make your own test, they give you the "formula" to figure out the point value...To me, AR is over rated and DOES NOT instill a love of reading for children. They learn that that you read to earn an award, instead of the reward being the story on the page. I was a rebel at my school and refused to have my students do it. Some parents complained, so the computer was there for them to use, but I did not give out any awards.To really know your students as readers, have conversations and conferences with them. Jan
