East Coast Sue Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I am not a big fan of Pizza Hut, but I did sign my kids up for the Book-It program last year and again this year. My kids asked when the program starts and though I remember it starts in October.... when does the packet arrive? Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqui in mo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Haven't gotten it yet. I think they do usually come in September. Jacqui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheerMom Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I signed up and haven't gotten my packet yet. Thanks for the reminder! It does start in October, and I think the last few years I got my info in mid-September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn E Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I actually got mine this last week, but I'm not quite certain how to use it. I would go and ask for further info at Pizza Hut, but I'm not sure they'd be able to help. Once you get yours, maybe you could talk me through it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Dawn, what info do you need? We've done the Book It program for the last three years. Our kids really look forward to it. We haven't gotten our information for this year yet. It should arrive by mid-September. We did just receive the confirmations of Pizza Hut receiving the kids' submissions for the summer reading program which ends on Sept. 20th (I think), so they probably will make sure the school year program info is out by then.

jacqui in mo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You basically decide your own goals for your kids. I assign a set # of books/month for them to read from the selected library books we have for history & science as well as a few others. (Usually around 20-25 for my olders). You could set a time goal like 10 hours of reading broken up into 15 or 20 minute segments filled out on a chart. HTH Jacqui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 No, not yet. Thanks for reminding me, though! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn E Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Tutor, I feel rather silly now, as I just discovered I didn't remove everything from the envelope the first time. :D I didn't see the certificates and was trying to figure out what I was supposed to actually present to Pizza Hut. So, I answered my own question. I haven't, however, received any confirmation from Pizza Hut. I'm a little concerned about being met with blank stares when I take the certificate in. Thanks for the offer of help! I hope you and yours are well! I'm glad you're blogging again. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meljoy Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I forgot to sign up! :ohmy: I did 'Bookit' years ago with my older boys and would like to do it again this year with youngest DC. Is it too late to sign up? If not does anyone have the website? Well never mind I found it! The homeschool sign up -Here it is incase anyone else forgot like me! http://www.bookitprogram.com/enrollment/individual_hs.asp TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqui in mo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I would call the Book It hotline & see if you can still enroll. Seems like they have a deadline but I think I've signed up late (& called them) before with no problem whatsoever. http://www.bookitprogram.com/enrollment/pub_priv_enroll.asp Jacqui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcjlkplus3 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I just got mine a couple of days ago. What kind of goals would you suggest for a kindergartner (doesn't read yet) and a 2nd grader who loves to start books (she is not so good at finishing them. It looks like it goes from October to May. I'm excited about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linders Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I don't remember when I signed up but the packet came yesterday. I feel guilty - so many free pizza coupons, and I only have 2 kiddos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkacademy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 The coupons are for all the different months so if you only signed up 2 kiddos then you'll only use 2 per month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqui in mo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 As for goals, I set a certain # of books per month that have to be read. With a K'r I would determine how many books we could read together reasonably within a month. One a day? Three a week? Same for 2nd grader reading on own but it may be a different # for them. I make a chart where a non reader can put a sticker on each time we read a book till we reach the goal. For olders, they have to write down the Title on their chart for the month to show how many they have read. HTH Jacqui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3lilreds in NC Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I got mine yesterday. My girls LOVE Pizza Hut. I think it's going to be a big hit in our house. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalaska Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Mine came in yesterday's mail...I think. Possibly Tuesday's mail. But yeah, it just arrived. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalaska Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 For my dc, I had time goals. For kindergarten they had to read 20 minutes a day. First grade, 30 minutes. Second grade, 40 minutes. Third grade, 50 minutes. Fourth grade on up, 60 minutes. Per day. I also asked them to keep a book list just so I could see what they were reading (and to remember books that "worked" at a certain grade level when the next dc came up). I printed the calendar and they got to use my cute stamping markers to stamp each day they read their assigned minutes. Also, the per day was five days a week (not weekends) so I could monitor/encourage that the reading be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
