Reading Rewards Program

Program 1
Individual Reading Rewards
Program 2
School Program - Class Reading Rewards

The BOOKS Reading Rewards Program will allow you to set your own reading goals and earn rewards for achieving those goals.

We count TIME!

The amount of time you spend reading is much more important than counting the number of books you read.

• You use your reading log to record the amount of time you spend reading each day.
• Any adult can initial your reading log for you – a parent, an adult friend, your teacher or a librarian.
• It counts if an adult reads to you.
• Reading in school also counts!

Welcome to the new and improved
Reading Rewards Program for 2009-2010!

We have added some great new incentives for the program and made it more challenging too! You start with Goal 10! and work your way to Goal 1!, your “Blast Off for Reading Fun”! On your reading journey you earn new and exciting rewards as you increase your reading skills.

School Program- Class Reading Rewards Program

Teachers can now register their entire class for the Reading Rewards program. Classes work together as a team to earn up to two class field trips per school year to local attractions! Teachers help students keep track of their time reading. When every student in the class has completed their log for 120 15-minute segments, the teacher mails in all the logs and will receive passes to Roberson Museum and Science Center, Kopernik Observatory & Science Center, the Discovery Center, Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park, Bement-Billings Farmstead or Tri-Cities "Opera-Go-Round" Classes can participate twice per school year, once in the fall/winter and once in the spring!
