Reading+Rewards





The Reading Rewards programme is a really easy way to earn prizes and certificates - as well as get better at reading!


 * //__What is it?__//**

A rewards programme where you read books and get rewarded for your reading.


 * //__How will I learn more about the programme?__//**

You will be introduced to the programme in your English class. You can also ask any English teacher about how it works.


 * //__How does it work?__//**

Your teacher will give you a Reading Rewards booklet in class. This will tell you how many books to read for each prize. You need to read a book and fill in the form with the title, author and genre (type) of the book. Then take the form to your teacher and your teacher will ask you a few questions about the book. If you answer the questions, and show you have read the book, your teacher will sign your form. Once you have read the required amount of books, you will recieve your certificate.

If you complete the extra-credit form as well as talking to your teacher, you could win a prize! Pick up the form from the library, complete it really well and put it in the prize draw box (also in the library). Every couple of weeks we will randomly select one person to recieve a great prize!

Then you can starting reading books for the next certificate!


 * //__When will I do all this?__//**

Junior English classes will spend time on the programme in class. Your teacher will introduce you to the programme, fill in the booklet, choose books, go to the library and talk about your books. BUT there is no way you can read all the books at school. You are going to have to read in your own time too.


 * //__Is my English teacher the only one who can sign my booklet?__//**

No. Any English teacher or library staff member can do it for you. Your booklets are kept in a filing cabinet in the library or in your classroom. So go in, find an English teacher and get your form signed at interval, lunchtime or afterschool. DO NOT GO DURING CLASS TIME!


 * //__Why should I do it?__//**

Reason number 1: Certificates Reason number 2: Prizes Reason number 3: Unit Standard 8808 (Year 10 and 11 only) or Unit Standard 12905 (Year 11, 12 and 13 only). Reason number 4: You may actually learn to like reading and get better at it! Shocking.


 * //__You haven't answered my question!__//**

What was it? Ask your English teacher, Miss Phillips, or any English teacher! Or have a look at the copy of the booklet below to see if it is answered on there.
