Here is a situation that has happened in our building this fall. I = am waivering between it being a real "issue" or spending my energy on = other demands. This fall the schools in our district are starting to = use the new reading series that they selected in the spring: instead of = having the entire district go with one publisher each school was able to = make their own choice for primary and intermediate grades. In our = building grades 1 and 2 went with McGraw Hill, and 3-5 went with = Scholastic. Our school is already a user of Reading Counts.. however.. = McGraw Hill has sent a free version of Accelerated Reader to be = installed for their McGraw Hill editions of the books in the series.. of = course, those teachers want that software installed. =20 Does anyone have this situation in their building? On the one hand = it bothers me to have these two big competitors existing on our network, = on the other hand, the tests are just for the M-H editions which are = worth only about one half of a point... We have not installed the A.R. yet, but I am looking for other = opinions about what to do. The M-H editions are not available through = Scholastic [apparently these tests are just on excerpts of their books = not the entire book] Please share any opinions. Thanks!
