My policy is to put the blue Accelerated Reader sticker on Everybody (picture) books only, and only up to Level 2.8. Above that level, my expectation is that students look up books with quizzes from notebooks of the quizzes the library owns, and then look up the book on the computer and write a call slip. How will students learn life-skills if we spoon feed them everything? Stick to your guns, and do booktalks on non-AR books. There is more to life than reading simply to take a test - talk about destroying a love for literature!
