Reading Incentive Program

"Reach for the Stars"

 A reading incentive program that gets kids excited about reading and rewards them with books to keep them reading after the program ends!

100% of pledges for student readers are returned 

to the students and school in the form of books!

Here's how it works...

  • Students accept the challenge to read, or be read to, for a set goal of minutes during the program

  • Students and parents record the number of minutes read on student's reading log sheet

  • Children sign-up sponsors who pledge a donation for the total minutes the child reads (or is read to) for a three-week period.  Reading material can include homework assignments, books, newspapers, and magazines.  (15 to 30 mins. /5 nights per week as determined by your school)

  • When the program is complete and all pledges are turned in, students and the school/organization get to select Usborne Books of their choice from over 1300 titles
