Help me give my students motivation to academically achieve our reading goal. We use a program that moves my students to a grade level by the end of the year. We have quarterly goals and rewards are needed.

A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are bright, inquisitive, and full of questions! They are fun and love social media, especially tik-tok. If they have two extra seconds during the day, they are dancing. They are worldly, often asking me, "Mrs. C, you know what that means?" They keep me on my toes while making me smile, as only a middle school student is able.
We are a high school located in the inner city of Cincinnati.
Many of my students are lacking academic motivation. They rarely complete homework and they need a lot of motivation to stay on top of their work and their grades. They are kind with good hearts and always respond to positive motivation.
My Project
My students have quarterly reading goals. They work daily on a program designed to move them to one grade level by the end of the year. As part of our school-wide PBIS incentive program, I would like to give them quarterly incentives for reaching their goal.
It is important for my students to stay motivated and excited.
A quarterly reward gives them something to look forward to at the end of each quarter before they begin their next step. Gift cards for food or Amazon are a positive motivation for my students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
