Classroom kit

Everything for
the whole year,
in one box

Every participating classroom receives its own kit — not one per school. Kits arrive before September with enough materials to run all eight months without reordering.

Seven components

What’s in a classroom kit

Designed to give the teacher everything needed to administer and promote Wacky Reader from the first week of school through April.

Cover of the SONIC Wacky Reader Program achievement certificate booklet, 200 certificates inside, each redeemable for a free Wacky Pack Kids Meal

200 per classroom

Certificate booklet

Two hundred tearable Wacky Reader achievement certificates. Teachers award them as students reach classroom reading goals, and each one doubles as a coupon redeemable for one free Wacky Pack Kids Meal at participating SONIC Drive-Ins. Valid through August 31, 2027.

Reusable, laminated

Progress tracker poster

A wall poster with a row per student and a column for every month from September through April. Teachers fill in the classroom’s goal at the top — pages, minutes, chapters or books — and students check off each month they hit it.

Keep it at the desk

Teacher desk reference card

A single-card quick reference covering how Wacky Reader works, important program dates, how to award and log certificates, and who to contact with a question. Everything a substitute or a new-to-the-program teacher needs.

Two Wacky Reader bookmarks, one reading "Proud Member of the Wacky Reader Class of 2027" and one reading "Don't stop now, the story is getting juicy"

One per student

Bookmarks

“Proud member of the Wacky Reader Class of 2027” on one side, encouragement on the other. Small, but they turn into the thing students actually keep in their book all year.

Three designs

Stickers

Certified Wacky Reader, Press for Books and Treat Yourself to a Good Book. For recognizing participation, marking milestones on the tracker, or handing out on a day a student needed one.

Take-home

Parent handout

A one-page explainer that goes home with students in the first weeks: what Wacky Reader is, how their child earns a certificate, how to redeem it, and when it expires.

For the walls

Classroom posters

Additional Wacky Reader signage to build visibility and excitement inside the room. The program works considerably better when students can see it every day rather than hearing about it once a month.

Logistics

Kits are produced and shipped by classroom, so the classroom count on your enrollment form is the number that matters most.

How kits get to you

✓ Confirm your classroom count. This is the number that drives production, so it’s the field we care most about on the enrollment form.

✓ Materials are produced by classroom. Ten classrooms means ten complete kits, each with its own 200-certificate booklet and poster.

✓ Everything ships to one school address. Kits arrive together, boxed by classroom, before the program starts in September.

✓ Nothing to reorder. A single kit is sized to cover all eight months. If a classroom genuinely runs out, contact us.
