The kids do an oral quiz with me. They must get 3 questions rt. I have a binder full of quizzes that I’ve made, found on islma listing or the good reads site , teachers have made and students have made.

And then I checked my stats and found that they are always among the highest circulated books in my collection every year. So the books are doing their job, but my students are either not interested in these extrinsic rewards or they find it difficult to turn things in because I am not in each of my two buildings every day. I am definitely inspired to try some of the ideas I am seeing here--regardless of whether I see an increase in prize-claiming--thanks for sharing :)
