Ms. Assel's Class "Reading Up a Storm"





Students in the third grade are “reading up a storm”. Their incentive is the Pizza Hut Book-It Program, which offers a personal pan pizza for each student who meets a monthly reading goal. Ms. Assel’s class was challenged to read at least 10 pages a day in their Accelerated Reader books. So far, six have already earned a pizza for the month of November!

The readers are reading more than ever before and enjoying it. Several times a week, Ms. Assel calls a “stop, drop, and read” time for about ten minutes. All the third graders in her class cheer, and usually request it daily. Some students have finished 40-50 page books in a day.
