Reading awards serve a vital function: They teach children early on that they will be rewarded for their reading skills. Reading, writing and comprehension, are some of the most important skills that children will learn in school. The key is motivating students to take these three academic staples seriously. Awards allow educators to reinforce positive behavior. When students feel that they are recognized for their hard work, they are more likely to work hard in the future. When you are a student, learning to read is vital to the future of your academic career. Unlike math or history, reading is used in all subjects. If you don't know how to read, your history textbook will be very unclear, you won't be able to understand the explanations of math problems and tackling your first words in a foreign language will just be confusing. A lack of reading skills will come back to haunt you later in life as well. When you get into high school and can't read well, it will affect your grades and your chances at getting into a good college. Also, your writing skills won't be as polished, so that will affect the quality of your college essays. Your ability to get good jobs can also be upset by poor reading and comprehension skills. Reading awards help by motivating kids to read from the start. When children are young, they may not want to read because they would rather be watching TV, or playing outside and if they are forced to read, they may resent it. Reading awards show kids that they will receive commendation for their efforts and give them the self-esteem boost they need to keep up the good work. Other children will be inspired to improve their skills, so that they can receive awards and praise as well. When you start reading and keep reading early, you are more likely to have good comprehension in the long run. By commending children on their reading skills, you provide them with motivation to do well that could stay with them for the rest of their academic career. Reading awards are one of the most important things that you can give to students. With awards, you ensure a bright future for students who might otherwise be disinterested.
