Our school is in the process of determining whether to go with Reading
Counts or Accelerated Reader as our reading management program. We have
been looking at the Reading Counts trial disk and are very impressed
with the features. However, no other schools in our district are
currently using Reading Counts, and technology support personnel for the
district are recommending that we go with AR since they are already
familiar with AR's installation and operation, and it is currently in
use in most of the schools in our district.

It has been two years since I have worked with AR. Can anyone tell me if
the AR program has improved in any way over the past two years to keep
up with some of the features (such as identification of lexile levels)
available in Reading Counts.

Also, as far as Reading Counts goes, has anyone experienced problems
with network installation or operation; we are running Macintoshes and
Windows NT workstations on a Novell 5 network. In addition, how is the
technical support for Reading Counts.

We are hoping to make a decision in the next month or so. I would
appreciate any advice or input that you can offer about either of these
programs. Thanks.
