How are AR books categorized?

AR books are categorized by their reading level and point value to help educators and students select books that fit the student's reading abilities and comprehension skills. The reading level indicates the difficulty of the text, ensuring that students are engaged with material that matches their skills, while the point value reflects the book's complexity and length, allowing readers to earn points as they complete quizzes on the books they read. This system aids in monitoring progress and motivating readers to reach their goals.

The other options focus on characteristics that do not directly assess a reader's abilities or progress, such as authors' popularity, publication year, or the number of pages, which are not integral to the AR framework designed to enhance reading comprehension and engagement.
