Using ProQuest, I found a number of articles that appear to me to be more
balanced in their analysis of AR and RC than the first one posted:

Accelerated Reader: What are the lasting effects on the habits of middle
school students exposed to Accelerated Reader in elementary grades?; Linda M
Pavonetti; Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, Newark; Dec 2002; Vol.
46, Iss. 4; pg. 300, 12 pgs

Accelerated reader: Does it work? If so, why?; Stephen Krashen; School
Libraries in Canada, Ontario; 2002; Vol. 22, Iss. 2; pg. 24, 4 pgs

Vol. 47, Iss. 9; pg. 48, 4 pgs

relationship with accelerated reader; Kirschenman, Jean Wolf; School Library

pgs

The accelerated reader: An analysis of the sotfware's strengths and
weaknesses and how it can be used to its best potential; Poock, Melanie M;

Subject: AR Program articles

I have kept some back issues of School Library Journal which included
articles about the issues surrounding AR and Reading Counts types of
programs.  Here are the edition numbers and article titles:

SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

July 2000       "Formula for Failure" by Betty Carter. pp. 34-37.

November 1998   The cover title is: "How Schools Sour Kids on Reading: What
You  Can Do to Help."  The title of the article is: "Make Lemonade: How to
Sweeten Your School's Climate for Reding" by Mary Leonhardt.  pp. 28-31

October 1996    "Hold the Applause! Do Accelerated Reader and Electronic
Bookshelp Send the Right Message?" by Dr. Betty Carter.  pp. 22-25


I use these articles whenever I am faced with someone who either blindingly
supports or pooh-pooh's these kinds of reading incentive programs.  Perhaps
they will be of help to those who recently asked about AR on this list.
