I brainstormed a list of synonyms and narrowed it down to words I have seen most frequently on my topic. After some experimenting, I found the above results. Of the three results found on the final search, I located an article about the positive results in the Accelerated Reader program. We use the AR program in my school district, so I am anxious to share this information with my administrators. The most interesting part of this article is about the use of prizes as rewards for student points. The author, JaKay Greer, says that by not giving prizes helps students reach their goal of becoming lifelong readers. The use of prizes as rewards has been an issue at my school. We are trying to decide what is best for our students. This article was the first hit.
