Program Planning Example: Enhance Your Existing Paper Programs

On the previous page, we mentioned a very simple traditional summer program as an example:

"Teen Program: Read 5 books to earn a raffle ticket to win a prize.  Read 5 more books to earn a second raffle ticket and a free book from our Teen Bookshelf."

Let's build a table demonstrating how that program works:

Now let's add a new column for online rewards that can be used to enhance a traditional summer reading program.  In the example below, we will award a "digital badge" to the reader for every book they read, alongside their traditional reward.
