The Bookworm Vending Machine

The Bookworm Vending Machine (BVM) was a tool designed to incentivize literacy in a fun and encouraging manner. It served as a positive behavioral intervention, awarding tokens to students for positive actions. At Central School, our focus was on empathy, the Zones of Regulation, and mindfulness of self and others. The books included incorporated topics of interest for Pre-K to Grade 2 students, and the machine was featured in the Main Hallway.
