I put the book titles on a poster and have oral quizzes.  Three questions
right, they get a sticker...two wrong and they can never take the quiz
again.  Stickers add up to prizes: 5= mechanical pencil, 10= kneaded
eraser, 15= 32 piece pack of lead, 20 = ice cream party at the end of the
year.  You can find many quizzes already ready for you on the internet or
at goodreads.com.  Also, I get other teachers to help me read them over the
summer and come up with 10 questions.  6th graders participate the
most...out of grades 6-8.
