TARGET, ELEM, A.R.labeling

[Mary Ellen Tremblay <mtremblay@psgsd.k12.ak.us>]

I have searched the archives using "accelerated reader" and "labeling",
but have not found hits on the topic.  Please guide me to any previous
discussions that will answer my questions regarding Accelerated Reader!

We are implementing AR for the first time.  We're a k-5 elementary, with
280 students, and I'm a full-time LMS.  I plan to keep all books
organized by traditional library system.  But, as we begin this process,
I wonder about how other librarians label their books.  Do you label the
spine with the reading level, or do you label the inside of the book,
just marking the spine as an AR book in general?  I'm wondering about
the "stigma" problem.  My teachers are divided about it, and some think
it's not an issue, while others do.  What arguments or experiences do
you have with this?

Thank you in advance!
