Reading Counts Reward System

After a fabulous visit from our own famous football player dad, Mr. Johnson, our kids are even MORE excited about reading than ever before! Mr. Johnson challenged them to reading 1,000 points on Reading Counts before the end of the school year. We’ve already read over 850 points combined as a class since August, so reading 1,000 more points by May should be as easy as pie!  If the kids reach this goal, Mr. Johnson will provide a pizza and pop party for the class!

 

However, we don’t have to wait until May to be rewarded for our reading! There are chances along the way to earn prizes, too: for every 10 points each third grader in our class earns on Reading Counts books from this point forward, he or she will get to choose a Mr. Sketch scented marker, thanks to the Johnson family! These markers are a necessity in our classroom, and "rock our world" in stations! How long will it take your child to collect the whole set?!

 Reading Counts quiz books can be checked out in our school’s media center. We also have a daily literacy station called “Books in Hands-Reading Counts” that allows each student 12-15 minutes per day to just read books at his or her Lexile level, and then take quizzes over these books at the computer station or at various times throughout the week! ***All Reading Counts quizzes can ONLY be taken at school on our server. The reading of the books, however, as long as your child has checked the books out of the media center, can be read at home, too.

**If you’d like to donate a package of Mr. Sketch markers for our reward system, I will not turn your donation away! J

Please see the attached letter for more information regarding Reading Counts points.
