Re: SEC: Accelerated Reader

This is our first year.  We have some English teachers using it.  We are
hoping that a new department chair for the English department for next
year will emphasize it more, since the likely chair will be the person
who found the funds for us to buy it in the first place.  She was in the
library a year and loved it when I showed her the demo disk.  We do mark
our books with dots to denote AR and we keep them in fiction or
nonfiction where they would normally be.  We are buying new disks and
books all of the time.  The boys want more adventure books.  We've never
had kids read so much fiction.  Our circulation has gone up greatly.
Teachers generally bring their students in for about a half hour to get
new books, take tests, or to read.  They have to get so many points each
9 weeks.  We have some teachers who have added a few tests.
