[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 24756, member: 10"] Hi, [url="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17422250/"]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17422250/[/url] It seems that there are kids who have benefitted from the program and after having being enticed into reading , the intrinsic reward has been strong enough to develop a love for reading. Unfortunately the short term and long terms results of a program like this are very different. One of my favourite authors - Alfie Kohn gets a mention. Among those campaigning against Book It is Alfie Kohn, an author whose 11 books on education and parenting include Punished By Rewards, which questions the value of incentive programs. The more kids see books as a way to get pizza or some other prize, the less interest theyll have in reading itself, Kohn, a former teacher, said in a telephone interview. They tend to choose easier books to get through faster. I loved this quote - not AK I dont want to see kids gorging pizzas, he said. But the positive effects outweigh other effects (obesity ) Allan [/QUOTE]
