| Abstract: | Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computerized reading management system that is used in over 75,000 schools since the 1980's. Perhaps it is time to examine the often public nature of participation in AR and its effect on readers' self-perception and motivation. Readers can be identified by the books they carry, because often books in school libraries have colored stickers on their spines to designate a book's "AR level". Charts posted in classrooms and halls display how many points each student has earned identify great readers from poor readers. Frequently morning PA announcements include the names of readers and points they accumulated during the week. Struggling readers seldom hear their name called. Is this kind of reading practice actually best practice? And if not, what else can schools do? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
