    • Abstract:
      The article examines whether the labeling of children's books can be considered as censorship. Topics covered include how reading programs such as accelerated reader (AR) and Read 180 require students to read books at their specific reading levels and answer questions about books included on those lists and how a labeling system can create helpful tools for students who have no idea where to start when asked to browse through many books.
