Incentives for Low Readers

Help me give my students some prizes and incentives to work towards! As low readers, they do not have many positive experiences with books. I'm trying to make reading accomplishments exciting and fun for them.

My Students

Our school is home to a lot of diverse students with diverse needs. Despite their various needs, however, our students at our middle school have a lot to offer. They are passionate, thoughtful, caring individuals, and sometimes their areas of interest do not always align with the traditional norms and topics addressed in the average classroom.

Many of our students need a little extra support and help to become successful learners, but our teachers are dedicated to giving them that help and support.

Sometimes we need a little extra help to make that happen!

My Project

As they get older, low readers tend to become more and more discouraged, as they continue to struggle with reading. Because of that, it can often be hard to help them stay motivated to learn. Obviously we would love for students to develop some intrinsic motivation to improve their reading, but sometimes we have to use some extrinsic motivators to help that develop.

I would love for my students to have lots of great incentives and prize options to help them develop some excitement and motivation around reading.

Having some treats and rewards can really go a long way in a classroom.
