Accelerated Reader is a program based on the fact that students become more motivated to read if they are tested on the content of the books they have read and are rewarded for correct answers. Students read each book, individually take the test on the computer, and receive gratification when they score well. Schools using the Accelerated Reader program have seen a significant increase in reading among their students.

This collection of high/low titles serves as a rich resource for your at-risk teens. With the test disk, it also provides an opportunity to reinforce your students' understanding of the material.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 5 Up‘Two books that have up-to-date information covering the emotional, cognitive, and physical aspects of PMS and living with relatives. Moe's language is clear and approachable, and the text proceeds from defining PMS and reproductive health to recognizing and treating the symptoms of this bonafide physical condition. A good deal of discussion focuses on the emotional impact of it. Grandparents is a well-formulated guide to understanding some of the reasons why a young person may need to live with relatives, potential lifestyle differences, coping mechanisms, abuse and neglect, and the legal process involved in guardianship and adoption. Simpson devotes a good deal of space to affirming the emotional strain and confusion that can arise during a difficult change. Again, the language is accessible and clear. Black-and-white and full-color photographs support both texts. Interviews with teens dealing with either topic make the narratives more immediate. Overall, both titles provide informative, comforting advice and common-sense answers.‘Joan Soulliere, Wenham Public Library, MA (c) Copyright 2010.
