Motivational Reading Program

Introduction Dora Brach, retired Library Media Specialist With 13 years experience at Mountainburg Previously taught computer classes As a child was a reluctant reader Now I love to read and want to give this love of reading to other students

Purposes Provide motivation for reluctant readers Provide quizzes for award-winning, classics, and other quality books Motivate students to read better quality literature Evaluate reading comprehension Provide a low-cost reading program Encourage summer reading

Background Library Media Specialist at a small school Didn’t have one of the expensive reading programs and the Principal wanted me to develop something Contest rewarding only the top readers didn’t work I totally changed the way the contest worked With my system, everyone, who tries, is a winner When I retired, I didn’t want to see the program end but expand to other schools

Reading Motivation Each book is assigned a point value based on the reading level and length of the book Students who don’t pass a quiz, they didn’t really understand the book Maybe it was too high of reading level Try another book in a lower reading level Students redeem points for various prizes Or points could be used as part of a classroom grade

Point Redemption Each book has a point value Each prize has a point value based on cost: approximately 1 point = 1 cent Wide range of prizes for boys and girls: Folders, notebooks, book covers, pens, pencils, erasers Various bracelets, necklaces Various balls, yo-yos, hacky sacks Glow-in-the-dark items Posters: poster book and from the Book Fair

Motivation? Some might say that I’m just paying students to read— that that’s not motivation Definition: To provide with a motive, stimulate to action The result has been: some students discovered they enjoy reading other students have broadened their reading interests

Other uses In History class: read a historical fiction book Historical events may be remembered better by reinforcing them in a fiction book Historical fiction helps make history come alive Helps tie history and literature together

Other uses Special Education Example of new resource teacher had each student read one of the contest books and take a quiz had each student make a poster based on the book

Cost Prices low so everyone can afford the program Special price for schools: 50 cents per student with a minimum of 100 students For free trial: Login: LMStrial7 Site: AR Password: library
