Module 2 Blog Search: Accelerated Reader

My assignment for this competency is to find a blog related to my area of interest. In my quest for this search, I found a blog submitted by Kari Weathers. She is a Kindergarten teacher from Loretto, Tennessee, who blogs for Families.com. In this blog she details aspects of the Accelerated Reading program while also making some personal comments of her own about the program.

Here are a few quotes from Weathers blog: "Accelerated Reader is an individualized reading program designed to promote student interest in reading." Weathers mentions: " There is an extensive group of research that confirms that Accelerated Reader program is effective." She also explains that: "Students that did not enjoy reading had motivation to read."

The Blog URL is:

I found this site using Google Blog Search.
