My Reading Incentenive Program for the 2011-2012 school year

The Reading Incentive Program that I will implement will be called: Reading RULES! I will encourage student reading by rewarding the top five students with the most read books a chance to "Rule the School". "Ruling the School" will basically mean that the students have a chance to be the principal for one day during a one week period. One student Monday, one student Tuesday, etc. The student will have a chance to help with the morning and afternoon announcements, eat lunch with the principal, and have a chance to stand at the main hallway before and after school with the principal greeting students. I will ask all students to keep a log of books they have read during the fall semester. After they read one book, their parents will sign or initial the log that I make for them. They will turn their log books in to their teachers, who will send me their top student from their class. I willl determine the top five students, and announce them the week before they "Rule the School". I think my program will work, and will encourage the entire school to read more because READING RULES!

    What a great idea and an ambitious project. I'm sure the students will love it. I like the idea of the book logs--it puts the responsibility on the students. You are lucky to have such cooperative teachers and principal.

    Sarah, I love the name of your reading program. Of course students love to rule, so if reading gets them a chance to rule anything they will love it. Great idea!!!

    Sounds like a great way to get the administration involved. Creative idea!

    The reading logs helps with taking the pressure off of one person doing for the entire school since verification can be done through the automation system (at least for the number of books). And you are also advocating by getting administration involved. What a great idea!!

    I absolutely love this idea. The chance to be principal for a day is a fantastic incentive. I wonder how that would work in high school?

    Now, here's an idea that I'm sure will be successful. What kid does not want to rule for a day? It is important for administrators and teachers to support library programs. After all, we all are woking towards the same goal!!! Great idea and good luck!
