Our elementary schools are into AR in a major way. I am in a middle school and we do not have AR. I think one of the most telling factors in my assessment of AR is that only once in 10 years have I had a student ask for AR.
Instead we hear the kids say, "You mean we can check out anything we want?" and you mean I can have more than one book?" "We don't have to take any tests?"
We have a very large circulation of books that are largely self-selected for pleasure reading and no one is earning any points or winning any prizes.
