I know one school that gives away a *car*!  Of course, it's not just for
reading.  It is actually the big prize at the senior graduation night.
Their mascot is a tiger, so students get tiger bucks as rewards for
various things -- reading is one.  Those tiger bucks can be exchanged for
items. I never found out how it works with the car unless tiger bucks can
be exchanged for lottery tickets for the car.  Now at high school
level..... a CAR would be an incentive!!!  Also, only seniors get chances
on the car.  I wonder if they can hold their tiger bucks for 4 years and
have LOTS of chances at the car their senior year?
