[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 24874, member: 1514"] Oh I think this is just sour grapes. I remember my boys getting the pizza certificates when they were in school for reading the books. I thought it was a great way to promote reading. I have one kid who is an avid reader and one who will read sometimes and one who thinks reading is akin to having his skin peeled off while awake. I wish they were all avid readers but they arent. I am a huge reader and consider it one of lifes true enjoyments. The boys grew up seeing me constantly with a book in my hands. I always read to them when they were small. Pizza isnt going to kill them. We took them for their personal pan pizzas maybe once a month as they got the coupons...I really cant remember how often they got them. In SC today they have a program where students get Limo rides and lunch out for reading. I think that is cool too. I think that is on the accelerated reading program but Im not entirely sure because we dont live there and only see the commercials. My theory is that if you teach a child to read, the child can learn anything else in his lifetime. If he cant read, then he is sunk. [/QUOTE]
