It reports that "rewards combined with feedback temporarily boosted reading performance, especially for struggling readers", with variable long-term effects; two further studies adding rewards or goals reported no significant effects.

"five studies found that rewards combined with feedback temporarily boosted reading performance, especially for struggling readers, but had variable long-term effects (Carroll, 2008; Chafouleas et al., 2004; Eckert et al., 2000, 2002; Henze & Williams, 2013)."
