Do you have a Pizza Hut in your area? The you might want to look into their ‘BOOK IT!’ reading program for grades K-6! Homeschoolers are allowed to participate too! Here’s some information from their website:

Simple
BOOK IT! runs every school year from October through March.  The teacher sets a reading goal for each child in the class.  A tracking chart and reproducibles are included to make it that much easier.  As soon as a child meets the monthly reading goal, the teacher gives him or her a Reading Award Certificate.

.

Flexible
BOOK IT! goals are based on reading ability.  Number of books, number of pages, or number of minutes – they all work.  BOOK IT! can also be used with the reading curriculum or as support for comprehension or intervention programs.  For children not reading independently, the goal can be set where a parent or others read to the child.

.

Fun
Pizza Hut is proud of all BOOK IT! readers!  The restaurant manager and team congratulate every child for meeting the monthly reading goal and reward them with a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza, BOOK IT! card and backpack clip.

If you want to learn more about the BOOK IT! program, you can follow this link. Enrollment for homeschoolers begins tomorrow, May 2nd and is open until the end of June.

We have participated in this program for 3 years now as homeschoolers. My kids look forward to filling in the chart each month with their reading goals and then counting up their books as they go along in anticipation of reaching their goals! Our pizza hut allows them to use their Reading Certificate for the lunch buffet. So when they reach their goal each month we treat ourselves to lunch at Pizza Hut!
