We do have a discussion about how many books are appropriate because they could be reading longer books or shorter books. I set a goal for reading at home (in minutes) and give them a Brag Tag (http://www.imagestuff.com/) for meeting that goal. Our school system wants them to read 20 minutes a day at home and they have a big push for that. I don't give them anything else. I think reading should be it's own reward.

I'm moving from 1st to 2nd this year so I have a few more questions for you....What are realistic goals for lower/mid/high readers? Do you reward them with something at the end of the year or every month for achieving their goal? If so, what do you get them? Do you use Pizza Hut or Burger King incentives? Thanks again!
