When my son, Kyle was in 1st grade they did have an incentive program. After reading so many books the parents had to mark them off with a sticker. Once that section was full the student had to turn it in to the teacher. The teacher would then sign it off and it would be for a Braum's ice cream sundae, single dip ice cream cone, and something else I could not remember. This went on throughout the whole year. My son Kyle, is in second grade and there is no reading incentive that I know of, that he has told me about. Kris (jacburn)
