National Reading Month is an annual event that promotes the importance of reading and encourages people of all ages to make time for books. The month provides an opportunity for schools to emphasize the value of reading and encourages students to develop a lifelong love of books.

Inchy’s Bookworm Vending Machine™ program shares many principles of National Reading Month as it provides a unique and engaging way for students to access books. The machine operates by rewarding students for demonstrating positive behaviors with a special golden Inchy tokens. These tokens can then be used in the vending machine to redeem a book, which the students are allowed to keep! Making reading a reward rather than another assignment! Taking the book home promotes the building of the students’ very own home library. Home libraries provide accessibility to books even when the student is not at school, promoting reading in and out of the classroom.

If you are already a Inchy member we recommend your school provides every student a golden Inchy token to redeem a book this special month. If you are looking to become a part of the ever-growing thousands of schools participating in our program, see how our book vending machines are being used this month to support reading.
