Abstract This study examined the participation of 36 second and third grade students from six Title I schools in a summer school reading incentive program. Students attended the summer program who had not meet the reading requirements for their grade levels by the end of the previous school year. As part of the summer reading program students accessed free books on a variety of topics and earned incentives for bringing the books back and completing reading logs. This summer reading program was four sessions, thirty minutes, once a week during the one-month long summer program. Results indicate students' opinions about reading improved over the duration of the program. Likewise, the average number of books students read per week and the average number of minutes students spent reading per day increased from pre to post intervention. Limitations and implications are reported. Key words: summer reading, reading program, incentives, reducing reading gaps

The research shows that existing interventions that attempt to reduce sedentary behavior are effective. The purposes of this review were to examine: (1) how adherent individuals are to workplace sedentary behavior interventions in the short and long term and (2) how the use of incentives impact adherence in the short and long term. It was found that short-term studies showed higher rates of adherence than medium-term studies. Studies that used incentives showed lower rates of adherence than studies that did not use incentives. Medium-term studies that used incentives showed the same rates of adherence as short-term studies that used incentives, indicating that incentives can benefit adherence in longer term interventions.
