Description
AS THE DEBATE OVER THE VALUE OF COMPUTERIZED READING MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS CONTINUES, TEACHER-LIBRARIANS SHOULD CONSIDER HOW THEY MAY BE USED TOGETHER WITH A READING SKILLS PROGRAM TO HELP SCHOOLS IMPLEMENT A BALANCED LITERACY PROGRAM. SUCH A PROGRAM WOULD PROMOTE COLLABORATION AND HELP TEACHERS TO IMPLEMENT DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION. Reading management programs such as Accelerated Reader (AR) and Reading Counts! offer students the opportunity to select books at their own reading levels, to read independently and to verify their work by taking a computerized test upon completion of the book. Interested teacher-librarians can help teachers individualize Language Arts instruction by using reading management programs combined with reading skill instruction as an alternative to the traditional classroom novel approach. In content area classes, teacher-librarians can help teachers promote reading and differentiate instruction by requiring supplemental enrichment reading that reinforces reading skills. Both these uses of reading management programs will increase the teacher-librarian's opportunities for collaboration.
