PIZZA HUT "BOOK IT" PROGRAM

The BOOK IT!® National Reading Incentive Program motivates children in grades kindergarten through six to read by rewarding them for their reading accomplishments. Its purpose is to develop in children a lifelong love of reading. The program begins in October and ends in March.

When a child meets a monthly reading goal, the teacher/parent gives him or her a Pizza Award Certificate. The child brings the certificate to a participating Pizza Hut® restaurant, where he or she is given a free one-topping Personal Pan Pizza®. The restaurant manager congratulates the child for meeting his or her reading goal, and will also present the child with a very cool BOOK IT! Recognition Card and Sticker for reading achievement. On each subsequent BOOK IT! visit, the child will be rewarded with more praise and another sticker. If a child meets the reading goals in all six months of the program, he or she qualifies for the All-Star Reader's Honor Roll, a classroom record of student achievement. The child also receives a BOOK IT! All-Star Reader Medallion with Neck Ribbon at Pizza Hut.

This program runs from October through March of each year.

To register your child please visit Pizza Hut's website. Please note, the registration deadline for the 2009-2010 school year has passed. Please check back in March 2010 to register for the 2010-2011 school year.

Pizza Hut no longer accepts homeschool group registration. You must sign up individually.
