We introduced a new reading incentive program yesterday that begins NOW! Pizza Hut has partnered with us through their "Book-It" program. Students are highly encouraged to read books at their Lexile levels, and to complete quizzes over those books. We are determining new Lexile levels in the next week, however, students all have their previous levels from August.
EACH STUDENT IS STILL REQUIRED TO COMPLETE ONE READING COUNTS QUIZ BY THE END OF EACH MONTH FOR A GRADE IN READING. This book/quiz can count toward the student's goal for earning reading rewards.
Each student is required to read at least 10 points for October. (The point values will change each month.) Each student received a tracking sheet today so he or she can track the books read, Reading Counts quiz scores, and points for each book. This information is on the RC book stickers, or students can look them up here at school. The quizzes can only be taken at school.
If a book your child is reading does not have a quiz here at school, he or she can write a summary of the book, and I will reward him or her with the appropriate point value for that particular book.
We will continue this reading program through March. For each student that meets his or her goal each month, a Pizza Hut pizza certificate for a FREE pizza will go home with each student! I'm hoping that each student that meets his or her goal for the duration of the program can join me for a walking trip to Pizza Hut for lunch one afternoon in the spring!
Happy Reading!
