What is "Book It" all about?

Simple

• The BOOK IT!® Program starts October 1, 2011, and ends March 31, 2012.

• You set monthly reading goals for each child in the class.

• As soon as a monthly reading goal has been met, you present the child with a pizza award certificate.

• The child takes the certificate to a Pizza Hut® restaurant, where he or she is congratulated by the manager or service team and given a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza®. On the first visit, the child also receives recognition of their accomplishment and a surprise gift. There is no purchase necessary and the pizza can be taken to go.

• On each subsequent visit, the child is again congratulated and given another Personal Pan Pizza and a sticker to recognize reading achievement.

Flexible…

• Setting reading goals. All children can benefit from participating in the BOOK IT! Program because of the flexibility insetting the reading goals. The goal can be number of minutes read, number of pages read, number of books read, etc. The goal can also vary from month to month. For students who are not yet reading or who have difficulty reading, you can set goals in which parents or others read to or with them.

• Involving parents. You can use BOOK IT! to support reading done in the classroom or at home. You will find a letter in this guide that explains how the program works, which you can copy and send home with each child. The verification forms are also a great way to involve parents and encourage children to read at home. Even if support from parents and/or caregivers is limited, children can still boost their reading skills by participating in BOOK IT!
  

• Rewarding and celebrating. As soon as a child meets the monthly reading goal, you should give him or her a pizza award certificate. This immediate positive reinforcement for achievement is an integral part of the BOOK IT! Program. It motivates the child who met the goal and the other children in the classroom as well! How you present the certificate is also important. Be creative—a round of applause or a cheer from classmates—and have fun celebrating the accomplishment.

Pizza Award Certificate Rules

• Keep it special. A child can earn only one pizza award certificate per month from October through March.

• Every child deserves a personal "Congratulations!" For this reason, group redemptions and/or parties with the monthly certificates are strictly prohibited.

• Free pizza means we need a little information. Be sure to fill out your section on the back of each certificate.

• Don’t hold the applause! Present the certificate as soon as the goal is met—certificates expire one month from the date issued, and the final certificate expires May 1, 2009

• Pizza Hut is proud to support BOOK IT! Certificates can be redeemed anytime during normal business hours at any participating restaurant.

• BOOK IT! really is free. There is no purchase required and the pizza can be taken to go.

• Out with the old and in with the new. Destroy any leftover certificates, as they will not be valid the following year.
