READING REWARDS DESK NEWS BRIEF
WHAT IT DOES

What is a reading reward wheel?

A reading reward wheel is a random picker that chooses one adult-approved reward after a reader reaches a clear and achievable literacy goal.

Add bookmark choices, book-picking turns, read-aloud privileges, praise prompts, stickers, creative activities, or small celebrations. Then use the visible spin to recognize reading minutes, completed books, regular practice, fluency work, vocabulary progress, or another individual goal.
