PREP-Primary Reading Engagement Program is a powerful, research based program that motivates primary struggling readers to read daily through book choice, contingent reward (meaning a reward related to reading), reading frequency and parental involvement. Research shows the students involved in PREP increase their reading achievement, reading frequency and reading motivation.

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!
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.
Jeannie Votypka, Ph.D., creator of PREP, is a professor of literacy at Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio. Prior to BW, she taught primary reading for 16 years. She created PREP over 10 years time within her reading classrooms to solve the problem of her students not reading at home. She is passionate about the program because it gets students excited about reading while building confidence in their academic, social and emotional lives.
