Reading incentive programs

["Burmeister's" <burmclb@WIN.BRIGHT.NET>]

I am trying to find information on reading incentive programs for
highschool students.  Once jobs, sports and clubs start becoming more time
consuming for my students, reading for fun and enjoyment seems to take a
back seat.  Once in a while a student will come in and brag about the fact
they have gotten to be seniors without ever reading a whole book while in
high school, *how sad?* I would like to find some ideas for class projects
involving reading novels related to content areas. I remember someone last
summer posting an idea for students reading a novel and then writing a
research paper for their psychology class based on events the book. If you
have any ideas which will incorperate reading into multiple areas of the
curriculum, please send them to me. I am especially interested in giving my
teachers a list of websites they can use to build reading into their plans
and find out about reading incentive programs. I will post a hit. Thanks in
advance for all the help I know I will get.  This group is great!
