“Here at Franklin we have Soar Bucks that we use for positive reinforcement for behavior and academic achievement. The students can then turn them in at the school store for different prizes.
I have used the Soar Bucks to encourage the students to meet goals in Reflex. The students receive 2 Soar Bucks for every 25 new facts learned. For every 1000 facts competed they receive 5 Soar Bucks. When the student reaches 100 percent fluency they receive 25 Soar Bucks.
My student have been saving Soar Bucks for bigger prizes in the store, so to receive multiple for accomplishments in Reflex, encourages them to keep going. Also, students that aren’t as motivated to do Reflex see friends receiving Soar Bucks, and it motivates them to work harder.”
