We often congratulate students for how many books they check out, but we know that there is no proof that they are actually reading those books. Also, a child may complete 22 picture books, in the same time as another reads a huge 800 page chapter book, so rewarding a number doesn’t really seem fair. Still, we don’t mind too much if it is just ONE of the ways we reward our readers.

Some other ways we encourage positive behaviour and attitude in the library is to reward students for how often they recommend books to others, how often they take risks with their book choices and how well mannered they are during check out time.

Here are some of the rewards given to our students to celebrate the first half of the school year. Congratulations to all our readers, the main thing we hope is that you keep coming back for more.

Happy New Year
