Rewards Cart has dramatically increased reading motivation and engagement across all grade levels. Since its introduction, students have been reading more frequently, taking more Accelerated Reader (A.R.) quizzes, and striving to reach higher reading goals. The excitement generated by the cart—stocked with student-favorite snacks and fidget toys—has created a positive ripple effect throughout the school.\r\n\r\nWhat began as a simple incentive has grown into one of the most beloved traditions in our library. Students eagerly anticipate the cart's appearance in the hallways, and many work diligently to earn their moment to choose a reward. This enthusiasm has translated into measurable academic behaviors: more books completed, more quizzes attempted, and greater persistence when reading becomes challenging.\r\n\r\nThe project has also fostered a sense of achievement and pride. Each visit from the rewards cart reinforces for students that their reading growth matters and that their efforts are recognized. Even small rewards—like a bag of chips, Takis, candy, or a pop-it—have had a big impact on students' confidence, motivation, and excitement about learning.\r\n\r\nUltimately, this project has transformed reading from an assignment into a joyful, community-building experience. With continued support, we can sustain a program that rewards hard work, inspires curiosity, and strengthens our school's culture of reading.","fullyFundedDate":1761070881599,"projectUrl":"project/reading-rewards-reloaded-restocking-our/9822625/","projectTitle":"Reading Rewards Reloaded: Restocking Our A.R.

The addition of these fun incentives helped transform reading from a task into a joyful experience. As a result, we saw a noticeable increase in both book circulation and AR testing participation across all grade levels.\r\n\r\nMany students who were once hesitant readers are now eager to share what they've read and proud of the progress they've made.
