Schools host Read-A-Thons to raise money and interest in reading
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Students at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School are getting their reading minutes in during November 2020 during Read-A-Thon, an online school fundraiser that encourages literacy. About two weeks in, Fatima students had logged 91,287 minutes and attracted 1,244 supporters.

Schools have found a fun way to get families and friends involved in their students’ reading progress while raising money at the same time. It’s called a Read-A-Thon.

Milton Elementary and Middle School will kick off its annual Read-A-Thon at the end of this month, asking parents and community members to sponsor students on the online pledge platform.

Each child participating gets an individual profile that can be shared by email or on social media to invite sponsors.

“It’s a fun way to engage families in a discussion about literacy and reading,” Milton librarian Erin Kizziar said. “The child’s responsibility is to log daily reading.”

Kids can read anything they want and can read at home or at school, according to the website. Read-A-Thon timers track all of the reading minutes online.
