Reading Incentive Book It! Program

2009 - 2010 Calendars


Mount Airy Elementary
Parr's Ridge Elementary

Parr's Ridge and Mt. Airy Elementary Schools are participating in the Pizza Hut Book It reading incentive program which begins October 1, 2008 and runs through March 31, 2009. At the beginning of each month, the student will receive a calendar to keep track of the days he/she participated in any of the various reading activities listed below. These activities should be done at home, and any reading done at school should not be included.

  • Independent reading
  • Read to someone else
  • Was read to
  • Read before and/or after school
  • Attend story time at Public Library or bookstore
  • Read a Bear book (Parr's Ridge)
  • Practice alphabet and sight words using flashcards
  • Listen to story on tape while reading along with a book
  • Work with reading software on the computer

A student should put a check mark on his/her calendar on the appropriate date if any one of the activities listed above is completed. A parent should initial the calendar, and it should be returned to the student's teacher by the beginning of the following month.

A few weeks after the calendars have been returned to school, students who have read for 20 days or more will receive a free book of their choice, which the PTA purchases through the Scholastic Book Clubs, along with a Pizza Hut certificate. The certificate entitles the student to a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza. There is no purchase necessary, and the pizza can be taken to go.

This is a great way to encourage reading so please remind your child to fill out and return the calendar each month!
