We use this also.  I give grade leveled text for the kids to read and test
on a couple of times each week.  I take running records on grade level
passages and take that as grades.  I use their home reading logs as one
grade for the nine weeks.  I usually have 25 or so grades from doing this.
PS some teachers also take an average of the kids AR grades which I don't
agree with

 Please advise.  I am working with my teachers at grades K - 6 in adopting
 many of the principles of a Balanced Literacy program.  We are following a
 lot of the work done by Fountas and Pinnell.  A question and concern among
 many of the teachers is grading.  Now that report cards have to be issued
 over the next week, teachers are questioning how we grade students in a
 B.L.
 classroom.  Any guidance you can provide me is appreciated!  My direct
 e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Thank you.
