| Accelerated
Reader (AR) is a nationally recognized reading practice program
used at Desert Canyon Elementary. Books that match these titles
are books that may be found in public libraries, classroom libraries,
home libraries, book stores, or the school library. Most Desert
Canyon classroom libraries and the school library have AR books
leveled for students.
AR
is not a complete reading program nor is it proven that reading
for a reward makes a life long reader. (McCarthy,
Cheryl. "Is the Tail Wagging the Dog?" School Library
