Each time a student earns a prize, it turns a simple reading quiz into a moment of pride and accomplishment.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments so far was watching a group of students crowd around the reward table right after earning their first high scores. Their eyes lit up as they looked through the bookmarks, pencils, and other prizes. Several students said, \"I'm going to try a harder book next time!\" Your support truly sparked encouragement and confidence.\r\n\r\nWe're already seeing students push themselves to read more challenging books and take their time on comprehension. Our next step is helping students set personal reading goals and track their progress as the year continues.
