The SJS Reading Reward
The SJS Reading Reward
Here at Sholing Junior School, we expect children to read at home with an adult 3 times a week. However, many of our children go above and beyond this expectation, and we feel that this should be rewarded, and showcases many of our Learning Behaviours: Motivation, Communication, Reflection and sometimes even Resilience!
This is where the rewards come in!
Children gain house points for every time that they read and it is documented by an adult in their Reading Record.
Over a 3 week period, if a child is meeting the expectations, they will have read 9 times.
If a child reads 4 times a week, within 3 weeks, they will have read 12 times. By achieving this, children are then issued a Golden Reading Ticket, giving them access to a Friday lunchtime reward.
The reward is only revealed on the day of the event, to keep a surprise element about it however, they run along the lines of, sports games on the field, discos, board game bonanzas, films etc...
There is a secondary competition with this reading reward though that keeps the "buzz" about reading humming around the school and that is about winning the Reading Trophy!
The class that has the most number of children that attend the Reading Reward is presented with the Reading Trophy in our Celebration Assembly and earns a Storytime with Miss Waight in the following week.
