Readathon is back! Read and raise money for charity

It's Readathon time again where all Year 7 and 8 will spend two weeks reading for sponsorship as well as boosting their own literacy skills.

Students may read anything (fiction/ non fiction books, newspapers, magazines etc) as long as it is age and content appropriate. They can read as much as they like at home and during allocated times at school but must remember to record everything they have read on their given Readathon cards, as they will use these to evidence reading and collect any sponsorship money later on.

Students will be given time to read their books at the beginning of each lesson for two weeks from 7th March to 18th March. Students will also be reading during all registration times as part of the Accelerated Reader programme and this can contribute towards their Readathon sponsorship also.

All money raised for Readathon goes towards helping support severely sick children and we hope to raise as much as possible again this year for extremely worthwhile causes.
