Interviewer: The only tips that maybe can get a kid around for five years old maybe to six years old too get them to a—maybe want to look at a book, encourage him to maybe get the habit of reading little books. What tips could you have to that?
Interviewee: Well, I think at that age a reward system is always being most effective. Something I do with my own first year—first grader. She is seven years, an avid reader, is a book box system where as either I read the story or she will read the story and she gets little book-book that I have made up with here. And when she gets to certain amounts of book box, there are worth different levels of things for example—
Interviewer: Give me an example, what would five book box will do?
Interviewee: Well that could be anything from a trip to let us say Chucky Cheese or maybe an ice cream cone with whatever it is that we have set aside to begin with younger children obviously. It is not going to be as easy. They do not understand this much so; you can maybe work on a sticker chart, kind of a reward system. Something you could put up in the room and every time a book is read or a story is listened to, you can give them a sticker and let them place it on that chart themselves.
Interviewer: So, this is like a positive reward system.
Interviewee: Absolutely.
Interviewer: It is not negative which is the way you should get kids to do things, is that correct?
Interviewee: Right, absolutely no negativity because if they feel that there is going to be a punishment involved at any cause, they are just not going to cooperate.
Interviewer: And if they do a better job at reading a particular book, is there any reward for a better job?
Interviewee: Sure, you get two book box.
Interviewer: So, in other words these incentives are a little bit if they do a better job.
Interviewee: Absolutely.
Interviewer: And you have found in your experience my money is expensive for your tuition. This is the best way to encourage kids to be?
Interviewee: Absolutely. There is—even with sometimes with negative behavior. If you use a reward system, it always works self better. I have seen these things on with Potty training even when there is an accident. You can tell them that if there is no accident for a whole day, that will be a positive way of enforcement tool. You can give them a sticker even if there is a n accident, it is not a big deal. No negative punishment should be involved with anything when you are trying to teach a child to do something.
Interviewer: So you have realized you will just to do a good show.
Interviewee: Absolutely, the pattern of that always works.
