And here's another reading incentive program that you might want to sign up for. It's from Pizza Hut and, through it, you could win cash for your school's library, all while encouraging literacy among your students. Check it out and see what you think! 12:38 AM # Book AdventureBookAdventure! Learn about an easy and exciting way for your students to practice reading comprehension skills and earn prizes for their work. And it's free! This is the second year I've used BookAdventure.com in my classroom with my third graders. On this free and easy-to-use site, children can sign up and start taking reading comprehension quizzes which earn them points. They can then turn these points in for prizes from the site's sponsors or in-class incentives designed by the teacher. For example, my children like to turn in points they've accumulated from the multiple choice quizzes to get "Choose Your Seat for the Day" coupons for use in our classroom. If this sounds like an interesting and effective way to bolster reading comprehension in your classroom, check it out and put it to work. I don't think you'll regret it! (And I forgot to mention that my kids love it!)12:33 AM # |
