In our classroom, we use the Accelerated Reader (AR) program to encourage students to read more and improve their literacy skills. While AR helps students track their reading progress, we believe that adding a system of classroom incentives—such as small prizes—will provide extra motivation to reach their reading goals. These prizes will celebrate student achievements, foster a love for reading, and encourage a positive classroom culture centered on academic success.
Squishmallows – These cute, soft, and collectible plush toys are perfect for giving students a fun, comforting reward for their hard work.
They are hugely popular among students and will create excitement in the classroom when a student earns one!
Tech Decks – Mini skateboards that kids love to collect and customize. These will be perfect for rewarding students who meet big milestones or show consistent effort in their reading. Tech Decks also promote fine motor skills and creativity as students can practice tricks and customize their boards.
Stickers – Fun, colorful stickers are always a hit! Students will love earning a variety of stickers as they pass quizzes, complete reading challenges, or simply demonstrate great effort. Stickers also provide an easy way to recognize small achievements along the way.
Classroom candles will also levitate our reading area in our classroom! We have a “magical” theme and would love to see these and continue to add to the cozy feel in the room!
Your support will ensure that all students, regardless of background, have an equal opportunity to be motivated by the rewards offered. Whether it’s a young reader excited about a new book or a student striving to complete a challenging reading goal, these incentives will have a direct, positive impact on their academic growth and enthusiasm for reading!
