[AISLE-Share] Fwd: Readers Incentive Program

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

 I live where the closest big town (with restaurants and Barnes and Noble)
is over an hour away! ! We do it all in house. For every book read their
name goes in a drawing for prizes.  ( posters from book fairs,  bags of
candy--after holiday sale stuff is cheap! !, etc.)  They answer 3-5 quick
questions  over the book to prove they have read.  For kids who read 10 or
more books I give them a certificate to "buy" books from Scholastic. ($1 per
book from 10-20) I use bonus points from the year and sometimes my PTO has
helped. Everyone gets their participation certificate at one of our
quarterly academic award programs, with special awards given to readers who
read 10, 15, and 20 books. They know those milestones and in a small
district getting that award in front of all the parents who come is pretty
satisfying. All students who completed the program get to eat with me in
the library for announcement of the winner and I provide dessert, usually
home baked goodies and ice cream sundaes.
