The Road to Success program aligns our school with many community partners that want to help our students succeed in reading. The focus is literacy and in the past few years they have seen amazing results.
The Road to Success program provided the following print
materials/prizes:
- Classroom/hallway information poster
- Indoor tracking banner. We list each teacher/classroom and track the reading minutes for each week. We list the reading goal and the kids can see how the school is progressing. This is placed on the wall by the lunch room.
- Outdoor Banner. This is generally placed on the fence.
- Treasure Box
- Prizes
Our school will track students reading time using the
RTSUtah.com (www.rtsutah.com) web
tool. Tracking may be done at home or
school. Once the registration process is
complete the students will login to their RTS account and log the minutes they
have read. This can be done daily or
weekly. If a student reads 5 days in a
week they earn 1 ticket for a drawing.
If they read 7 days a week they earn 2 tickets. This drawing happens approximately 4 times a
year. The prizes for these drawings are:
a Bike, or a Scooter or an iPod Shuffle.
So at each of these drawings all the tickets are entered and we draw out
1 winner. The more they read the more
tickets they have entered. Also, at the
last drawing of the year we include all tickets entered from the entire year
and we draw 2 winners to receive a $50 UESP Savings certificate. We have fun at the assemblies and I also love
to invite Chief the RTS Mascot to join us for a couple of them. The kids love him!
Also, each week we track the minutes read and award the classroom who read the most minutes with our infamous Reading Trophy and recognition/announcement during the Monday morning announcements. It is so great to hear the cheers from the winning class! Once a classroom has won the trophy 3 times the entire class wins an additional prize from the RTS Treasure box. Once a month we total the number of minutes each class has read and award the top class in each grade with a prize from the RTS Treasure Box. The prizes range from simple erasers to bouncy balls to food coupons and free bowling. These prizes are provided by RTS. We will also set a school reading goal and use the prizes as incentive or award as we reach these goals. Last year our goal as a school was 2,000,000 minutes and we exceeded this number.
To register your child on Road To Success Please go to www.rtsutah.com and click "parent" then click "register my child" and register this code RTS-23130. Only register once please. Log all reading minutes here to win prizes with the school. Also road to success is a bonus place to log reading minutes. In order for your child to get a grade on reading minutes you need to be recording their minutes on the back of their homework folder on the calendar. 20 minutes for each week day.
Thank you,
Sally Lambeth
