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".

That monster. Goosebumps was a foundational part of my lifelong love of reading.
