Just a question, if AR is truly successful at the elementary and middle
level why don't the students have a love of reading when they get to High
School?

In reply to Carol, I think time is often the issue with high school students.
I have always been an avid reader (hey, I'm a librarian after all) but the
time I probably did the least recreational reading was when I was in High
School. I always liked it when we were assigned to read novels in English
class, since at least I could justify the time spent on reading a "story".
Even if AR is successful beyond belief, High School students will always be
pressed for time. Somehow, it did not seem as bad in college, even though I
was at a challenging college, but I still found at least some time to read for
pleasure.
