Homeschool Book It Program
They are currently accepting enrollment requests for the 2008-09 program that will kick off October 1, 2008. As soon as the monthly reading goal has been met, the teacher presents the child with a Reading Award Certificate.
The child takes the certificate to a Pizza Hut restaurant, where he or she is congratulated by the manager or service team and given a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza. On the first visit, the child also receives a BOOK IT! card with clip and a sticker for the card. There is no purchase necessary and the pizza can be taken to go. On each subsequent visit, the child is again congratulated and given another Personal Pan Pizza and a sticker to recognize reading achievement. If the child meets the reading goals all six months of the program, he or she is awarded a BOOK IT All-Star Reader Award at Pizza Hut.
Who is eligible for the BOOK IT! Program for homeschools?
Any student in grade K-6 (5 years old by September of current school year) that is homeschooled and does not attend any other educational facility. Materials will arrive by early to mid-September.

For the past two years my son has participated in this program. We have found that though you can receive a free pizza, The “dine in” restaurants are hard to find, and the staff look as if they have no clue as to what this program is. They will honor the coupon, but we have received no cards, stickers, All-Star Reader Awards, or acknowlegement of any kind from anyone. As long as the free pizza is what you want, this is a good incentive, (you still have to purchase for the rest of the family though!) If you are looking for a positive and pat-on-the-back experience for your child, I would not recommend this one. It is obviously not structure, or advertised among their chains.
