pizza hut bookit
Enroll now for the 2021-2022 Pizza Hut's Book It Program - available for homeschool families of students in Pre-K through 6th grade! BOOK IT! motivates children to read by rewarding their reading accomplishments with praise, recognition and pizza.
 
The program is simple  to use, flexible because goals match reading ability, and fun because achieving a goal is a great reason to celebrate! You must be one of the following: a parent homeschooling your own children in PreK through 6th grade (ages 4-12 years old) as of September 1, 2021 for the October to March program OR a parent enrolling your own children in PreK through 6th grade (ages 4-12 years old) as of September 1, 2021 for the summer program.
 
The BOOK IT program is digital. Easily track and reward your studnets, and print out their certificates to take into the restaurant (or to use for online ordering). The restaurant team congratulates BOOK IT! kids for meeting their monthly reading goal and rewards them with a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza, and the new Passport to Reading and sticker on their first visit. On each subsequent visit, they get another stamp (sticker) for their Passport to Reading, another Personal Pan Pizza, and more kudos! See more details here: http://www.bookitprogram.com/
