PREP Creates Excitement for Reading.

PREP is Researched-Based.
PREP is tried and true in the classroom as well as through research. Students are extremely motivated to earn the scratch off rewards so they begin reading each night, creating an intrinsic motivation to read. The best part-these rewards aren't toys and stickers-they are simply more reading!

PREP Works!
When students follow the PREP program with fidelity they become improved, motivated and independent readers. Many students who are beneath grade level benchmarks in reading quickly reach their goals when involved in PREP. This builds confidence in their academic lives as well as their emotional and social lives.
