The Q Bank
Q Bank turns passed quizzes into Q Bucks that students can spend on merch and perks that you provide.
Q Bank is simple and fun.
If you've tried another reading program's version of points-for-prizes,
you'll be surprised at how easy this is.
- Teachers and students can easily track Q Bucks balances
- Students are not confused between “Points Balance” and “Q Bucks Balance”
- Award individual or group bonuses
- Redeem Q Bucks from one student for a perk — or from a whole group for an ice cream party
- Encourage nonfiction reading with a bonus of up to 100% on every NF quiz passed
Getting Started
- Choose a start date. Pick an earlier date and your students will have instant Q Bucks from quizzes they've already passed.
- Roll over or reset? Decide if balances carry over at the end of the term or start fresh at zero.
- Set the multiplier. 1× or 2× points earned.
- Nonfiction bonus? Turn it on if you want to incentivize NF reading.
Set Up Your Store
Now that your students have a Q Bucks balance, what can they spend it on?
Merch — tangible items like lollipops, fidget toys, trading cards, bookmarks.
Perks — privileges and status that you dream up.
This doesn't have to cost a lot! Honestly, perks are valued highly by students
and they don't cost you a thing. A few ideas we've seen:
- Sit by a friend
- Sit in the teacher's chair
- Indoor recess
- Wear a hat in class
- Play a game on the teacher's computer
- Lunch with the principal
- Lunch with friend(s) at the VIP table
- Picnic lunch with a group
Are you ready to get started? Think about what you'll offer for "inventory."
Maybe a few posters in the library to announce the fun.
And then… watch the books start flying off the shelves!
