Ready-To-Go Reading Incentive Programs for Schools and Libraries

In this easy-to-follow resource, the authors offer detailed instructions for conducting 16 incentive programs, from one-night celebrations to fully developed theme-based programs that involve an entire school for a full year. Each idea includes reproducible letters, coupons, forms, completion certificates, final-party plans, and troubleshooting tips. Suggestions range from Shared Warmth, a simple program that documents at-home reading and gets parents involved, to Share the AdventureRead, which allows children to earn mileage for reading and takes them on a trip across a map. School library media specialists and public librarians should take a look at this refreshingly diverse and stimulating book.Cathy Fithian Williams, Columbus Metropolitan Library, OH
