Almost all of the previous suggestions for motivating students can be useful in home-schooling situations. Indeed home-schoolers usually have much more flexibility and can add all kinds of privileges for earned points such as watching television, a meal out, or a visit to the movies. Parents, however, like teachers, must beware of points-per-reward "inflation" or you will find yourself funding bigger and bigger "ticket" items for fewer and fewer points. Try to keep to a reasonable and fair level of points-per-reward, one which truly motivates and does not "turn off" the students need for the reward. A student would be turned off by having to work for a solid six months to purchase one visit to a movie.
Remember to award Bannatyne Program Certificates of Excellence to students for good work, at least once a week.
Also give the student a Bannatyne Program Certificate of Excellence for each Workbook Completion.
When a student finishes the entire Bannatyne Program (at the completion of Neptune Workbook 13), award a Bannatyne Program Certificate of Completion to the student.
The Bannatyne Program Certificate of Completion should not to be given for partial completion of the Bannatyne Program.
The Bannatyne Reading Program is a superb, proven reading program. The Bannatyne Reading Program is unlike any other reading programs currently available. This means you will find many features which are only in the Bannatyne Reading Program. It is an excellent program for home schooling and all homeschooled students will benefit greatly. Numerous kinds of motivation are seamlessly built into the Bannatyne Reading Program. In some Commonwealth countries the program may be referred to as: Bannatyne Programme, or Bannatyne Reading Programme.
