Incentives to Read (ITR) Minutes - October 25, 2013

Submitted by kbauman on Mon, 11/04/2013 - 22:29

We had a brief discussion of the minutes and a request to be able to print them. Originally the minutes did not have a print button enabled on the Intranet but that is now enabled.

Kellie has added a draft list of questions into Basecamp for each age group that we may want to ask at registration. Each of us need to login to Basecamp and provide feedback and we will discuss it at our November 7 meeting. Kellie reminded us that an asterisk next to a question indicates it is required.

Incentives to Read (ITR) Minutes - September 26th, 2013

Submitted by kbauman on Tue, 10/08/2013 - 12:30

Karen emailed the September 11 minutes to the committee members. Following is a recap of from that meeting.
The program will provide reading “incentives” rather than “prizes”. Studies show the importance of reading 20 minutes per day so we decided to track minutes read or number of 20 minute sessions.
