This topic comes up again and again. At this point we all seem to agree t= o disagree. Which ever side you are on, nothing posted SEEMS to convice us = to switch "sides". I have a proposal; I am one who does not philosophically agree with either Accelerated Reade= r or Reading Counts for many of the reasons already posted as well as from personal experience as a child reader. = However, in reading the past threads I have modified my stance. I believ= e = that if I ever need to implement the program II can do so in such a way a= s to negate some of what I consider to be the negative effects. Specificall= y I have learned from those in favor of the program that; - if the program is implemented correctly the points and prizes need not control the program, - that students who are not already strong readers can increase their reading level, = -and that using the program increases book circulation. Are there others who while they are still philosphically opposed -- have modified their view of these programs and if so in what ways. I also believe that some of you who are strong proponents of the programs= have also modified your views/practices based upon some of the discussion= . Could we also hear from you about how your views have changed. I am in hopes that this will be a productive way to continue the discussion. Deborah J. Stafford Gen. H.H.
