What do you do for incentives? Some programs have "family literacy dollars" that are given to students for many different reasons. These dollars are really just xeroxed copies of real dollars. They are awarded for perfect attendance for a week, being on time, completing assignments, volunteer hours in their children's school, etc. At the end of a month (or whenever), the students are allowed to spend the dollars in the program's store, purchasing such items as detergent, soap, hand towels, etc....things that can not be purchased with their food stamps. What do you do for incentives? Nancy Sledd, Training Specialist National Center for Family Literacy and nifl-family list moderator
