Stevenson, Jean M. and Webb-Camarata, Jenny.  “Imposters in Whole Language Clothing: Undressing the Accelerated Reader Program.”  Talking Points, Vol. 11, No. 2, April/May 2000 p. 8-11. 
The major emphasis highlights the idea that isolated, computer-generated, multiple choice tests that students take after reading a book in no way compare to the in-depth discussions that are part of shared reading and group literature study. This program is not meeting the needs of readers and is destroying the desire to read.

Stevenson, Jean M. and Jenny Camarata. "Held Hostage by the Accelerated Reader Program."  Talking Points, Vol. 16, No. 2, May 2005.
Stevenson and Camerata discuss the many problems inherent in using the Accelerated Reader Program, even in schools where not all classes are participating.  The program controls the curriculum by determining which books students may read, and the competitive nature of the program puts pressure on students without allowing time for other literary activities.
