E-brief for their INSPIRING IDEA!
"At Delmae Heights Elementary School in Florence, SC, the Action Team for Partnerships (ATP) and many others at the school implemented a program to link students' reading progress with 25 community partners in Read for a Bead. For one month, students recorded the title of each book they read and wrote a sentence about the book in their Read-for-a-Bead Logs. Then, each student went to a participating local business, told about the book they read, and collected a red, blue, orange, green, or yellow bead, and a signature from the proprietor. When students read five books and collected all five colored beads, they delivered the completed log to their teacher.
Some partners went further. For example, an orthodontist gave a free t-shirt to every student reader who visited him. A bank gave away piggy banks and contributed $5 to a new student bank account (opened with parental permission). Chick-Fil-A donated reading bookmarks and free meal cards for the school to give as prizes to every student who collected five beads."
