[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 25188, member: 805"] difficult child has done BookIt a couple times in the past. One twist was last year in his resource room for LA. They had to read and then every Tuesday, they did a short book report on a piece of paper shaped like a slice of pizza. They colored it as well. They presented their report on Tuesday and then the teacher hung them up. She told the kids that once they had pizza slices all the way around they room, they would have a pizza slumber party! So one day the slices met! The kids brought in their pjs, pillows and blankets and had pizza for lunch then settled down for an hour of stories read aloud by the teacher and some parents with the lights out, the blinds closed, and flashlights all around. It was a great! So, motivation is just that. Kids that love to read will read anyway and kids that don't like to read are motivated to do so. I don't see the big deal. I have used many "carrots" when I deem it necessary. Sharon [/QUOTE]
