Lakeview Elementary School in Provo is using a vending machine full of books to reward their students and promote literacy.
The school installed the book vending machine just in time for the start of the current school year, and students like fourth grader Langston Kaufusi, say they are reading more often because of it.
Kaufusi says he has used the machine three times, so far. In all, he has gotten books like"Dumbo" and"9 from the Nine Worlds.""The teachers decide what those are going to be, those tokens, each token is good for one book in the machine," said Barker. "In the past, we would have done something like give a sticker, or give a little toy, and we wanted to do something a little more significant for the students," Barker explained.He said they had a little money they used toward their Positive Behavior Program to spend a few thousand dollars on the machine.
