How to “Visit” a State
1. Pick a state! If it has a Genre listed on the state, find a book that matches that genre (use sticker). If there is no Genre listed, you may choose ANY book to read.
2. Take an AR test on that book. (you must have an 80% or above)
3. You do not have to print the test. Record your score on your map or on recording sheet on back of map. Also record the title of the book you read.
