A quick summary of AR: students have a set numeric goal, each book (in the program) has a point value. Student takes a quiz on the book and is awarded points in ratio to their success on the quiz.
I am working to find books I think she would enjoy. I truly believe that reading unlocks the intellect and imagination lying dormant in a person's mind. It just adds a frustrating layer of complexity to the matter for me to check potential books against this list to see if she will get credit for reading it.
And back to the title of the thread, I think this works against a lot of indie authors. I like a good story, and it seems that she also does. eBooks have opened up avenues for good stories to be available without "passing the grade" of publishers. Given the choice between a good story or literary purity, I will pick the good story.
