On 1/27/05 I posted: I am in need of articles evaluating problems with Accelerated Reader. There is a long, very academic one on Stephen Krashen's web site. I need something a little more accessible. Do you know of any good ones? <end of post> Is AR an accepted fact of our libraries now? I didn't get one suggestion from this post. The SLJ article was 3-4 years ago. Did anyone keep it? I think I pitched my copy when our school got AR, despite my objections. I can't believe AR has taken over and everyone has just accepted it. I have teachers who are assigning so much AR reading, the kids don't have the time to read anything else. They come into the library and don't take anything out. I push picture books, nonfiction and jokes. My principal wants some articles about the down side of AR. Please help!!
