Reading Riot - Gulf Harbour School Read-a-thon 2018

$200 donated

Given by 8 generous donors in 5 weeks

This year we are focusing on improving the love our students have for reading at school and at home by holding a school wide readathon.

Auckland

Our Read-a-thon 2018 works like this:

We have asked our families/whanau to have a chat with their child about a whole range of reading challenges that went home e.g build a fort and read a book, read with a flash light or draw a picture about the most exciting part of your book. Those challenges are all about getting our students to read and enjoy books and involve our parents and caregivers in the process. Our Read-a-thon will run from the 5th March to the 4th of April.

The families decide who could be a sponsor: family, friends, mum or dad’s work colleagues or other people they know and trust. They ask the sponsors how many challenges the student has to complete, before they receive the donation from the sponsor. The students keep a record on their sheet and colour in or tick the completed challenges.
