I don't dislike AR, but I certainly wouldn't like it being a requirement as I've seen/heard is done in some schools. My personal opinion is that it's counter-productive to require it as part of a grade, especially if a certain number of points is also required. And it hardly seems fair to test on a book that had to be read as a group - wouldn't the teacher allow her to re-read the book on her own and *then* take the test?
