Many years ago I created a reward system where for a certain number of books read, it won them a Beanie Baby. That was a popular item that summer. It helped get families involved too because they were reading at home. If I could come up with a reward system(any ideas there?? LOL)would it be appropriate to offer that this summer? It would be age/grade appropriate. Maybe I'll pass that by parents as well. If you think that's a good idea, maybe you can offer me ideas on how to make it work?

Have you heard about Scholastic's Summer Reading Challenge? http://www.scholastic.com/ups/campaigns/src-2017
