Why Have A Read-A-Thon?

Read-a-Thons foster positive ready habits and promote literacy. Money raised through the fundraiser will support events, activities, and programs that provide students and families opportunities to engage in hands-on learning and academic enrichment, such as art night and math night. These events engage families and make learning fun!

​

How Does It Work?

Students will log the number of minute they read on paper log (given by teachers) or reading amplify. Parents, friends, family and partners make pledges that directly support their school’s community programs. We encourage all students to read, even if they are unable to collect pledges.

​

What Type Of Materials Count?

Any reading done on reading amplify, novels, textbooks, journals, magazine articles, newspapers etc. Reading done in class by the student or by the teacher to students is also counted. Our goal is to get everyone reading!
