Re: AR in the Library
Posted by KY Retired Librarian on 1/31/08

    While I completely disagreed with it, I did not interfere
    when a teacher said AR only. I was not in their classroom
    and it was not my place to speak up about it. However, the
    library IS your classroom and you have the right to make it
    work for you. I had my AR books shelved where they
    belonged. Easys in the easy section. Biography with the
    other biographies, etc. I did however label my AR books with
    a bright green dot. I wrote the AR level on the dot. It was
    up to the teacher to let the student know what level to get.
    I chose only one color dot because it wasn't easy to see what
    level a child was reading, and therefore a lower level reader
    was not as likely to be embarrassed. This worked in my
    library, although I know there are many ways to handle it.

    I did order AR tests for as many books as my budget would
    allow. I also belonged to one of the test sharing groups and
    got many tests for free. While I didn't always agree with
    the AR program, I did my best to accomodate the students.
