Subject: Readers Incentive Program<br>

<div dir="ltr">I inherited a pretty traditional reading incentive program where students read a book and write a reader response to a prompt. If they read two books a quarter, or one longer book, they were invited to a quarterly party. I tried to update this
by giving them other options to respond to the book and "prove" they read it: shelf talkers, 1 minute book talks, book trailers, etc. in addition to the written response. Participation was lackluster. Change is in order.

<div>How do you celebrate books read? Recognize your accomplished readers?</div>
