Evans Elementary - We've been Caught Reading and We're Hooked

A school-wide movement to increase reading, using a theme to get students more interested, worked wonders at Evans School. McWhirter used the theme to decorate cozy rooms where students could read in comfort. Themes that they have used in the past included camping and underwater. Incentive to read included stickers, pencils, certificates, guest reading programs, book give-aways, and the chance to be represented on the principal's bulletin board if goals were met. In Addition, assemblies held throughout the year to promote the theme helped students become motivated and excited about reading.
