At a school where I was reading specialist we used to have competitions between classes.(We only had one room per grade level.) We might have 3rd and 4th and 5th and 6th compete for the most AR points or most pages read. We did this by the month. The losing class would serve the winning class a treat (such as homemade sundaes or popcorn with a movie, or pizza) the losing class then served themselves and all enjoyed the treat. This seemed to work especially well with 4-6 grades.

Hi. I work in a k-5 school as a reading consultant. We currently have a monthly calendar that kids turn in to get a small prize. At the end of the year the get recognized, so on and so forth. However, the program is old and not very enticing. The younger ones are usually the ones turning in their calendars but mostly it is ineffective anymore. I would like to revitalize a school wide reading program. Does anyone have fresh and exciting ideas that is easily recordable but effective? I would live to hear ideas out there.
