Super Readers!

I want to congratulate those dedicated students who have been going the extra mile to return the Book-It forms to me so they can receive their incentives for both Book-It and the Ticket to Reading Rewards program.

For March, I get to hand out 9 Book-It Certificates and order 6 prizes for the Ticket to Reading Rewards! Way to go Shakeira, Ashley, Valencia, Evelyn, Daria, Colby, Veronica, Ivy, Maria, Jatonya, Sha'Mone, and Olivia! You're all doing super!

Let's keep it up!

Ticket to Reading Rewards

This semester I'm really going to be encouraging you all to participate in our reading incentive program entitled "Ticket to Reading Rewards." Hopefully you are all doing lots of independent reading anyway, and this program just gives you a few little perks here and there along the way to reward you. Our first rally date will be the last day of January, so try to meet the first goal of 5 books read by then in order to receive the first prize!

Ticket to Reading Rewards!

Hey Pearl C. Readers! I've got some exciting news for you! Our school has been selected to participate in a special reading program that will make you eligible for lots of prizes and rewards for each book that you read this year. Now, we all know that reading is a reward in itself...what could be a better prize than being a strong reader for life? However, some organizations like to throw in some smaller perks along the way...and so our school will get to benefit of some of those little extras.

Starting the week after Thanksgiving, we will start tracking your reading. After 5 books, 10 books, 15 books, 20 books, and 25 books, you will be eligible for a new prize. Prizes include backpacks, water bottles, watches, and more. Tickets to college basketball games and visits from college coaches are also possibilities. Also, every single student will be receiving a free one-year subscription to "Sports Illustrated for Kids", delivered to your home! Now, that's pretty cool!

Don't forget that you will still be eligible to receive punches for the "Ice Cream for Books" program and 6th graders are still participating in "Book It." There are plenty of good reasons to read at Pearl C. this year so hope to see you in the library SOON!

Ms. Embry :-)
