Hi Marti, I don't know much about the Rewards program, but I do know it was created by Anita Archer. She has both a reading and writing program. The reading program helps students quickly recognize the chunks in words and then use that knowledge to read. I have only seen the student book, not the whole program, but I ordered some student books to use with struggling decoders.
I saw Anita present and was very impressed. She is one of the strongest advocates for active engagement of learners and she practices what she preaches. She kept the audience engaged for the entire dayI There was no down time. I believe if you google her you will be able to download some of her videos.
