I grew up, like most adults I know, participating in the Pizza Hut Book-It program, enjoying a personal pan pizza every so often as a reward for reading. Homeschoolers can participate in this also! Sign up as individual homeschool families and reward your elementary aged kids!
Now--as mom/teacher, how do you determine their reading goals and keep track? Pizza-Hut is making it easier and easier! Printable reproducibles are available for any type of record keeping you want--monthly, by time, number of books or pages, plus you can teach them to write book reports with their easy forms also!! New ones for the new school year should be coming in august. NOW--they do have a cut-off point for signing up and will not approve you if you wait, so SIGN UP NOW!!!
And if ice cream is your thing (and you live near a Braum's), you can double the incentives by signing up for Braum's Book Buddies. We do this through our local co-op as it is less difficult than trying to get approved as an individual homeschool. This is for kids in 1st-5th grades and comes with stickers and charts for each of the 6 coupons for various ice cream treats.
Searching for any other free motivational reading programs, I also found:
-Sylvan's Book Adventure
You can do any incentives on your own of course, but these are even better IMO since they aren't coming out of my pocket *smile*........

We love Pizza Hut's program. We do that and the program via our local park district. We have an outdoor water park here, and through the local park district you can do a reading program that allows us to have free admission to the water park over the summer.
ReplyDeleteThat would definitely be one to add to my list if it was available here!! There are several summer reading programs around, but not real great ones in our area, just the library (free books, Tshirts, etc.). I read about McDonald's doing some incentive programs in the northeast also....
