[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 111014, member: 439"] oh, gosh, don't get me started...... My kids both had to go through the "Accelerated Reader" program, and it was administered in a very anal way. Both of my kids have always read way above grade level (NL was reading at third grade level before entering kindergarten). But that stupid AA thing would only advance your level when you read and tested on certain books. The "choices" were things like "Goosebump" books which I basically see as comic books. NF read "White Fang" in 2nd grade, which was on the AA list, but at several levels above his. The teacher finally "consented" to him taking the test and he passed it with 10 points (the most possible). After that, we just let him read what he wanted. [/QUOTE]
