incentives to promote literacy that can replace their previous reading program that will

continue to increase books read and checked out from the library. In evaluating other

incentives, there can be alternatives to AR implemented that are not given in the form of

test taking. Observation and analysis of other schools’ reading programs will assist in

answering some of the research questions. Another way of answering the questions

answering the following research questions.

2. What programs or incentives (independent) will promote a positive reading

culture in the school (dependent)?
