glow in the dark incentives


This summer Jack has been going to a weekly program at the library. I didn't think he would be interested at all in something so passive. He reads really well, but doesn't LOVE to do it. We couldn't figure out why he was so pumped about this reading program. I mean, yeah, they did fun activities and stuff-- but still?

Then it became clear. The sent home a chart, and for every hour you read you would mark the chart and earn a library dollar. And the BIG DRAW for Jack? Glow in the dark slime for a mere $12 in library dollars-- or 12 hours of reading.

He did it!
