Teachers all across the country are trying to figure out creative ways to motivate their students, and Peterson Elementary School in the Northwest Independent School District seems to have developed one.
To try and get their students to read more, educators at Peterson Elementary went out and bought a book vending machine. Teachers now set goals for students, and if those goals are met, those students receive a golden ticket or coin. With their ticket or coin, students get a free book.
Librarian Kelley Milton told NBC DFW, "We make such a big deal about students when they're down here with their gold coins and we're standing and cheering them on."
The books are all brand new and have been donated to the school.
