Answer to Question 1

Students who like to be the first in line and/or the center of attention are likely to be motivated. Also, completing reading tasks successfully may enhance children's self-efficacy for such tasks, and some children may realize that the gold stars are a symbol of that success.

Answer to Question 2

It probably is appropriate. For a variety of reasons, most experts argue against assign grades on the basis of improvement. However, teachers typically use stickers more as reinforcers than as indications of overall achievement, and it is certainly appropriate to reinforce improvement.
