TARGET: MIDDLE: Accelerated Reader Implementation and Benefits

[Rod and Lisa Dreesman <dreesman@WIN-4-U.NET>]

Dear LM-Netters,

(This is a reposting of my original message that I sent to the group when
most people were on break. Thank you to those of you who have already
responded.)

Happy New Year!
 The principal of my grade 6-8 middle school has asked my opinion of
implementing the AR program at our library. Our 6th grade team is pushing
him to get this program at our level, in hopes of being able to replace
another literacy program, called PALS. He is concerned about the logistics
of implementing it in our media center and more importantly, the benefits in
regards to improving student literacy. I know it can be highly motivational,
but his interest is in does it help kids become better readers?

Thanks in advance!
