BOOKS FOR BUCKS
Books for Bucks is a partnership between Sapulpa Public Schools and the Bartlett Foundation that promotes reading among 5th-grade students.
Books for Bucks was started around 1998 with the idea of rewarding students who read.
Originally, the program began with each child receiving $1 per book. From there it became $1 for every 100 pages read, to today's basis on accelerated reader (AR) points. Fifth graders can earn up to $15 per book if they make at least 80 percent on a test based on their reading level.
The Bartlett Foundation has given more than $150,000 to the Books for Bucks program. If you're interested in learning more about the program, please contact your 5th-grade student's school.
