Give these a try. I have a summer, as well as, a school year group for
grades 5-7. I call them Ravenous Readers. You're welcome to that,
too.
Have a great time.

Hi Sherri,
I hate it because it limits what the child can read. One elementary
school here sends kids in saying they can read between 3.0 - 3.5 and
they have to have a non-fiction! Also so many times a child will see
a book they would like to read but can't because it's not accelerated
reader and they need the points.

Do any of you have Ann Turner's poetry book Learning to Swim? If so,
where are you putting it? It is about sexual abuse and we are not sure
where it would be most appropriate. Please reply off list. Thanks in
advance.

m
Since 1990, the American Library Association Office for Intellectual
Freedom has maintained a confidential database on challenged
materials.
ALA collects information from two sources: newspapers and reports
submitted by individuals, some of whom use the Challenge Database Form
(link, PDF; Word and RTF links below) or the Online Challenge Database
Form. All challenges are compiled into a database. Reports of
challenges
culled from newspapers across the country are compiled in the
bimonthly
Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom; those reports are then compiled in
the Banned Books Week Resource Guide. Challenges reported to the ALA
by
individuals are kept confidential. In these cases, ALA will release
only
the title of the book being challenged, the state and the type of
institution (school, public library). The name of the institution and
its town will not be disclosed. A list of most frequently challenged
books is compiled from these challenges for each annual Banned Books
Week.
