Directions:
- Ask your family or other adults if they will sponsor you and pay $2.00 (pick your amount) for every 15 minutes that you read. Set a time frame for your read-a-thon (example – 2 weeks).
- Record the date and how long you’ve read (15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes) each day that you read.
- Count up how many dollars you’ve earned.
- Collect the money and send it in to the charity of your choice.
- Thank your sponsors for helping you raise money!
Other things to remember:
- Ask people to sponsor you (friends, family, neighbors, etc.).
- Pick a length of reading time that fits for the age of the child.
- The school/family will send the money they raise to a charity that speaks to them.
- Set a goal!
- Keep track of your reading time.
- You can read your school reading book or a free choice book for the read-a-thon.
- Have fun reading and helping other people at the same time!
