At Reading Circles that involve children and parents, we give away prizes such as books and posters.
Every child has a name-tag.
We put a sticker on the child's name tag for each program they attend. Obviously, the parents are thankful for the books too. One of many ways that we get lots of prize books is by working with high school student councils to do book-drives for our program. If you give older children responsibility and praise, you will find more of them helping the younger children. You want all the children who attend the Reading Circle to feel included.
