Ericka's Annotations 2

Groce, R.D. et al. Deconstructing the Accelerated Reader Program. Reading Horizons. Sept/Oct 2005. Vol. 46, Iss. 1; pg. 17-30.
Teacher implemenation of the Accelerated Reader program is as widespread as it is diverse in terms of classroom and campus application. Seventy-five percent of the teachers surveyed use the AR program as a focus of their reading instruction. With such heavy emphasis being placed on the adoption of the AR program in districts and schools across the country, it is important to consider some modifications and ways of enriching the program to best meet the neeeds of all students and to acutally promote the lifelong reading habits.

Dear Ericka-

This article sounds really interesting. It is interesting to me how many school districts use Accelerated Reader. This article seems to be a pros article for the program. It gives a good overview of the article.
