Dear School Board President,
I would like to tell you about kids in my generation not reading. As I get older, I notice more technology and other activities being invented, and reading is now more of a thing that kids think of as them being forced to read. I don't like being forced to do stuff. I have an idea. I think we should start having reading points. Reading points are when you read a book with a certain amount of pages, depending on the age, you would get twenty points. With the reading points, if you have at least sixty points you get a prize. Not like those really cheap toys like a bouncy ball.
With the younger kids so, grade T-K through first grade would need at least twenty pages. They need to give a little summary of what they read to a teacher. Their prize choices would be, a kite, king size candy bar, and a lunch with the principle or a teacher of their choice.
Kid's second through forth grade will have to read fifty pages for twenty points. They would need to give a brief paragraph about each book they read. Their prizes would be, a basketball, a pass that lets them have lunch with a friend, and they get to have an extra 10 minutes of recess with five other students in that grade.
Finally, grade's fifth to eighth. They have to read at least one hundred pages. They get to have a pass to get to skip a test in subjects such as, Science, math, or spelling. They also get to choose a movie day where they chose a day, a movie, and seven students.
I think if you do this system it will encourage kids to read more than just sit there on their technology. I hope you take this into consideration. I think this will really help. Thank you for your time in reading what I think you should do to help kids read and maybe if you start this, other schools will to.
Sincerely, Emma L.
