2 Someone with the heart of a reader does not need extrinsic motivation No points pizza or other incentives are needed

Where do we want them to head
UP is good but letrsquos not forget that they might have missed some good books (fairy tales)
Sideways is good too Let them read ldquoeasyrdquo
DOWN is also okay Sometimes it is nice to have a Calgon moment in reading

Ultimately what is our goal
Turn to folks around you and talk about what YOUR goal is

Where do we want them to head
UP is good but letrsquos not forget that they might have missed some good books (fairy tales)
Sideways is good too Let them read ldquoeasyrdquo
DOWN is also okay Sometimes it is nice to have a Calgon moment in reading

Ultimately what is our goal
Turn to folks around you and talk about what YOUR goal is
