AR has four components: (1) access to books, (2) provide time to read books, (3) take tests, (4) get rewards and the complete program is consistently compared to “traditional” instruction and is often (but not always) better. It is no surprise to see a program with all four components do better than one with none of them, but is this just because of the access and time dedicated to reading? Did the tests and prizes add anything?

I learned a “Save the Last Word” (SLW) protocol. SLW asks readers to first copy down a passage from the given text which resonated with them for some reason.

Star One: School climate. Funny how a person can sense the safety, friendliness, and sense of caring within minutes of walking into a school.
