Rewards for Reading

I feel that the concept of rewarding children for reading more than the required amount or scoring above and beyond the average is a great idea. While some argue that it is a bribe for children to do what they should anyway, I feel that it reflects the adult world quite well.
In life, those who excel in their field are given rewards, are they not? From raises to promotions, hard work in the right direction pays off. What better direction is there than reading? Reading is a skill that children will need for every class they take, and without that basic building block, everything else fails.
