A6: Keeping track Can make it feel like chore. That said, I was all about Book It as a kid. #weirded #grosspizza

MissShuganah Oct 12 @ 10:55 PM EDT

A6 I dunno. I hate the thought of kids being rewarded to read. Better to encourage them to read about what interests them. #weirded

msmusiced Oct 12 @ 10:55 PM EDT

A5: I'm still missing music books but I let them borrow what I have. I have their parent's phone number.. #WeirdEd

oolalume Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki @mrterborg Love collecting them. Even have 2 Star Wars books! #WeirdED

doodlinmunkyboy Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx Most people with taste do. Thanks! #WeirdEd

nolagirlfromtx Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@MrDunlapLead Lol. I love books. #WeirdEd

MrDunlapLead Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A6) Depends on the Ss you teach. Some might need an external push to start. Just simple competitions and rewards work well #WeirdED

MsLafferty Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A6 cont. So I read a TON, but never got the rewards. #weirded

@nolagirlfromtx @MsLafferty #WeirdEd Member of my grade level team is ALWAYS on about instilling love of reading. It's great. It's her THING

shadow_uzumaki Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@msmusiced @mrterborg Dads eatin' their kids, Demigods running amock... So intense... XD #WeirdEd

doodlinmunkyboy Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@ohsoearly For a stretch, I lost a handful a year. #WeirdEd #notkidding

msmusiced Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A6: I like them as an adult. I get gift cards and mugs for reading! As a kid though, depends on the program + #WeirdEd

KristiEdTech Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A6 If it gets a non-reader to try reading, then great. For already avid readers, no good, b/c they focus on quantity not quality #WeirdED

nolagirlfromtx Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@mrterborg Unless there’s a punishment for not reading. #WeirdEd

edutinker Oct 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@KristiEdTech @MsVenturino Don't neglect picture books! Even big people like illustrations. And science makes for cool images. #WeirdEd

oolalume Oct 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx 😶 #weirded

KristinaBarabas Oct 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT

Today my Ss told me it was ok to practically sit on me during our read aloud because we are family! *died of cuteness #WeirdEd

CrazySciTeach Oct 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A6: I LOVED Pizza Hut BOOK IT! program as a kid, read what you want, parent verified, you got free pizza for X books read #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Oct 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@MsVenturino #WeirdEd Agreed. Doesnt really seem to change anything else

MsVenturino Oct 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT

I'm doing a read aloud in 7th science! We Are All Made of Molecules by @susinnielsen! My Ss love it so far! #weirded

jenfromri - Moderator Oct 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher It's a little better if they're logging time spent instead of pages. Local library does it that way. #weirded

@jenfromri Book It is still around, I think? #WeirdEd

msmusiced Oct 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@msmusiced + our library went by minutes read, not books read. Worked for wiggly kids! #weirded

nolagirlfromtx Oct 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT

Love. #WeirdEd https://t.co/VeUMSQVh9n

edutinker Oct 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A6 Just get right out of here with that pizza party prize nonsense. Motivation disaster. #WeirdEd

scmaestra Oct 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx Nah. That is my thought. I want to teach that reading, like cleanliness, is its own reward. 📚 *broom emoji* #WeirdEd

mrterborg Oct 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx Why would you punish for not reading? Seems counterintuitive ... #weirded.

KristinaBarabas Oct 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT

A6 I want to to come naturally but if it gets them reading I can't be too mad #WeirdEd

doodlinmunkyboy Oct 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT

A6: People game the system though. Read thin crap to bump the number, not what fires them up. #WeirdEd

danibostick Oct 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT

A6 Reading is an easy sell. Even kids initially read for prizes, they will end up hooked. Sometimes they just need to start #WeirdED

oolalume Oct 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT

A6 I strongly dislike incentive programs for reading. Emphasizes reading as a chore to GET something external. #weirded +

nolagirlfromtx Oct 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @MsLafferty And I’m betting she’s a huge reader herself, models it for her kids. #WeirdEd

ohsoearly Oct 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@MsVenturino i liked reading a few pages from The Hot Zone when we studied viruses #WeirdEd

MissShuganah Oct 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT

Thanks @nolagirlfromtx and @TheWeirdTeacher Good chat even though I really was in a weird mood. Preoccupied. #weirded

jenfromri - Moderator Oct 12 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx Really? Huh - with kids' health being such an issue that surprises me! #weirded

mrterborg Oct 12 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@KristiEdTech Guess I was never an avid reader. Even though I read dozens upon dozens of books a summer. #weirded

nolagirlfromtx Oct 12 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@edutinker @KristiEdTech @MsVenturino Also some of those picture books are quite challenging! #WeirdEd

oolalume Oct 12 @ 10:59 PM EDT

Rdg is FUN when u find right book #weirded dont need no stinkin pizza or rollercoaster to do it.

SlpSummer Oct 12 @ 10:59 PM EDT

A6 our local library required that we check out 2 fiction & 2 nonfiction, then draw for prizes! more abt library use 1/2 #WeirdED

nolagirlfromtx Oct 12 @ 10:59 PM EDT

Doing it right. #WeirdEd https://t.co/jf4HpjHmcI

doodlinmunkyboy Oct 12 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@msmusiced True, though much of what I get is for being a buyer, not a reader. #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki Oct 12 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@oolalume @mrterborg #WeirdEd Just looked up SW... there's a giant Vader face in the middle. OMG. beautiful.
