For some reason, I find myself rather mad at this program A.R. we have. It stands for Accelerated Reader and it is a program that FORCES the kids to read. That's the likely reason why I personally hate it with a passion. I enjoy reading, don't get me wrong, but when I'm forced to, that is when it tugs on my nerves. Yes I understand that later we'll have to read books in high school but that is an assignment, A.R. this is simply a means of bothering us. I love reading but on my own terms. Take this for example, you get the next favorite book in your favorite series and then you are forced to read it in a week. I prefer to extend my reading experience.
