Awards: Idea #50

In my experience being a teacher, kids love to get recognized for their achievements. When they have gone up a level in their reading, or received 100% on a Spelling test, a student deserves recognition. A great way to get your students excited to learn all of their letter sounds is to give them a special award and certificate when they have mastered one. Adults feel good when they have worked hard for something, kids are no different. You can buy some simple, cheap awards and certificates at the dollar store or Wal-Mart. Kids will cherish their awards and once they receive one, they will want to receive them all!
