100 Books: Idea #213

Try to motivate your student to read by rewarding them for their efforts. A fun way to do this is to make a 100 Books chart and give your student prizes along the way. You decide the prizes depending on your student's interests. Check out some ideas below:

1.

Chart found here.

Make a simple hundreds chart for your student representing the books they have read. Each time they finish reading a book, have them color in a box, or put a sticker on the number. When they finish a row (or have read ten more books), give them a prize. Prizes could be something simple like a sticker or an eraser. Once they have read one hundred books, give them a trophy or a gift certificate. Make sure your student knows what the prize is when they get to one hundred so that they will be motivated and excited to keep reading!

This chart can be completed the same way as the other one. Just color in the objects instead of the boxes. 

Make sure that you set some solid rules before your student begins reading. I would suggest that your student cannot color in anything, unless they have read the book to you. Sometimes students say they have read a book, but fail to do so. I would also suggest that the books must be on their reading level. However, you know your student best! I am sure your student will enjoy coloring in those boxes and seeing what they can read!
