[AISLE-Share] Fwd: Discontinuing Accelerated Reader

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I hear more and more schools are discontinuing AR due to increasing
prices.

We too, are limiting our AR program to only include grades 1-3.  I am
wanting to start the Million Words Challenge for my students in grades
4-5.  I am looking for ideas and strategies to implement this program.
