Hi all, A question came up yesterday in my middle level DI course. A student was wondering about the use of Accelerated Reader in school as the primary strategy to track a middle level student's independent reading.
This teacher would like to see some alternative strategies used to do this. It is her opinion that students who have "good memories" do well with these tests, students that do not have good memories do more poorly and feel discouraged. So...do you use it and how effective in your opinion is it? For those of you who use alternative means to track outside reading and have used AR in the past - how did you convince your school to move to other tracking means? Thanks in advance, Mary Lou _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
