We've participated in the Pizza Hut Book IT! program every year we've HS'ed. They now have an easy online registration form for individuals to sign up to participate.

thanks for the info...I just signed up.
I am going to respectfully disagree about these sorts of reading reward programs. My feeling on it is this we do the reading anyway why shouldn't the kids get a treat for continued good work. Some jobs offer bonuses (for varying reasons)should you not accept them because you should just be happy with your regular paycheck?
If you don't allow your kids to eat pizza for whatever reason then don't sign up. Sign up at the library, six flags, barnes and noble or whatever others are offering items besides food.
I also look at it as setting and attaining goals for themselves. They finished this goal (reading so many books...that they most likely were already going to read) and now there is an accomplishment.

Pizza Hut Book It Registration

Yes!
I recently contacted them about prizes to support a literacy event and they are the first company who was willing to support us! That is totally amazing to me.
I do know that in past years we weren't able to take advantage of BOOK IT! because we were no where near a Pizza Hut. Not this year (yay us!).
I know people can see it as promoting 'fast food' or 'food rewards' but I don't see it as that way at all. I just explain to my child this company is doing this as a reminder to read. Once a month pizza isn't going to exactly hook your child on bribery either. It'd be different if you went every day.
Some kids do work better with bribery. My daughter trudged through her first books, but then realized her love of reading. I do work hard on making sure we are always stocked with good library books.
As far as families who do not feed their children pizza for dietary or other reasons I am quite sure moms (or dads) could contact their local pizza hut and still get the cool little prize for their child. A stranger making a big deal helps too sometimes!
BTW glurpy - the parent sets the reading goals. If your kids are reading on their own you could set an appropriate goal like getting a new book a month to read. Whatever. They don't force any rules on you.

Yes, and it is a lot of fun! I was homeschooled all the way through, and participated in the Book IT! program every year that I could. Keep up the good work, I know that it can be hard sometimes! :)
