Fueling a Love for Reading With Games and Rewards!
Help me give my students engage in reading games and motivating incentives into the classroom to help students build literacy skills and develop a lifelong love of reading.
My students are enthusiastic and curious learners who are working hard to become strong, confident readers. To support their literacy journey, I want to create a classroom environment where reading feels exciting, engaging, and rewarding. This project will fund educational reading games that help students build vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency while having fun. Games like sight word bingo, reading puzzles, and comprehension card sets make learning feel like play, which boosts motivation and retention.
In addition to games, I’m requesting small incentives such as fidgets, stickers, and toys to celebrate reading milestones.
These rewards help create a positive reading culture and encourage consistent effort. A visual classroom reading tracker will also be used to celebrate our progress and create a sense of accomplishment.
With your support, we can turn reading into a joyful and motivating experience that fosters a lifelong love of books and learning in every student.
