Please respond to the latest School Leadership 2.0 survey

A study found that paying students to read books (Dallas) yields a large and statistically significant increase in reading comprehension.  Students in Washington, D.C. improved their test scores when they were paid for improved attendance and behavior. Roland Fryer’s recent study “Financial Incentives and Student Achievement from Randomized Trials.”  Do you approve of such payments to students for improved performance?

Mireille Silcoff, in a NY Times column, explained how she paid her 12-year-old daughter $100 to read a book.  She suggests other parents of reluctant readers open their wallets and bribe their kids to read, too.  Do you agree?  See article at https://schoolleadership20.com/forum/topics/i-paid-my-child-100-to-read-a-book

Read Trouble with Carrots

Silcoff's decision to pay her daughter $100 to read a book allowed her daughter to learn how much reading is important to her mother, gain money, and enjoy reading a book. Parents should be creative.

Kids should be encouraged to do what they love.  Find out what that is and you won't have to bribe them. You can reward them for a job well done.

Parents should foster the intrinsic reward of learning.

A reward like this to build a work ethic and love of reading makes sense and is just another way of giving stickers.

It is true that reading only improves with practice but people read more when they find joy in it. She is making reading a job and there is no way to ensure the reading is happening or eventually that she will not quit.

There are other ways to love spending time with your child.. a sports event, going to the playground, or doing something special to encourage reading vs money. Bad habit to start for rewards. … volunteering!
