Greetings fellow library media specialists!

I have several questions regarding the Accelerated Reading program.  Is the
program effective in the early primary school curriculum?  Do first graders
who are emerging readers benefit from the program, or should it be
implemented in second or third grade when the students become more
independent readers?  Right now I have just begun my first year as a LMS in
a K-3 grade school. Everyone loves the program at my school and all want to
see it continued.  To date, the program is about 2 yrs. old.  I would like
to see it moved into the classroom, implemented by the teachers, and out of
the library.  As you may have surmised, I have yet to be sold on the
Accelerated Reader program and need your feedback.  What works for you or
what changes would you make at your school?  If you do not have th AR
program at your school why did you choose that route.
