question by library students

[Carol Adamec Brown <CABROWN@UALR.EDU>]

I teach a graduate course in tech. for library services. My students
have asked that I post this question to LM_NET. Many of their students
love Accelerated Reader. It is very popular in this region of eastern
North Carolina.

What are some of LM_NET subscriber opinions on this software and similar
read-test-keepscore kinds of software. Do you think it helps or hinders
reading comprehension? Some have said it is good only for reading
motivation and does not really improve comprehension skills. What do
you think?
