Not how my experience went. You read the books, you got the points, and (assuming you were doing well in every other aspect of the class), you got an A. But if you struggled with reading (as I did in school), you got poor grades despite the fact that your grammar, writing, and spelling were otherwise excellent. Very rarely did I get a teacher who rewarded reading; most of them punished my failure to read.
My 5th grade teacher killed my desire to read at an early age when she banned the class from reading Goosebumps during “Pleasure reading time”.
I hate to break it to you, but that almost certainly came from some karen that didn’t want their individual son or daughter to be reading it. So they raised a big fuss with the teacher for principle to get the books banned in your classroom.
Does this still exist? As a kid, it was the only way you were gonna get me to read a book.
