If not managed well, it can become a read for the points program. Some teachers tend to be too restrictive and won't let a child read above or below their reading level, even if they have a terrific interest in particular book. Doesn't allow children free choice in the materials they select. A lot of poorly written books get on the list. Publishers pay AR to get their books on the list.
Kids get tired of reading for points.
They worry about getting enough points. I'm responsible for the hardware and software in our school. In the fall I will go to South Florida to improve my English. I would also like to improve my computer skills especially in networks and Web design. One area to check out is Classroom Connect s Teacher Search .
