Reading

Think about what prizes there should be, if any. Talk to teachers at each grade level. = = =TicTacToe= Plan on doing in 3rd and 4th grade

=Crazy Library Game= Plan on doing in 5th grade Each week students check out and read books in a revealed category. These categories could be drawn out of a hat so each week would be a surprise. The categories should be ones students might not normally think of reading. Examples:
 * 1) Red books (or green books, or blue books, etc.) Read books with a certain color cover
 * 2) Tear jerkers
 * 3) Something from the bottom shelf
 * 4) Anything about..... A book about any particular topic such as animals, a particular sport, boats, etc.
 * 5) Only 1 book -- Look for a book by an author that only has one title in our library
 * 6) Multiple copies -- Look for a book that our library has more than 1 copy of
 * 7) Titles with unusual letters. Find a book that has X, Y or Z in the title.
 * 8) Read a story from a story collection
 * 9) Read a book recommended by a friend
 * 10) Read a book from the 900's section

=The Reading Game= Plan on doing in 2nd grade Similar to the Crazy Library Game except students have a game board and try to read their way through each square on the game. This will help them get ready for the TicTacToe game. They have more leeway than the 5th graders in that they can read at their own pace, doing no squares one week but more on another week. Categories could be similar to 5th grade except I would also include some genres.
