Read Around the World!

Kick-Off: Friday, February 13, 3:00 PM

  • Students receive a Read-A-Thon Packet
    • An envelope containing instructions, tips for asking for donations, a reading log, and a Read Around the World bookmark to use as a fun tool for all the reading!
    • Daily Reading Logs – Students turn in their reading log every morning by 8:15 in homeroom
    • Information about how to create a login for “Pledge Star” and information so you can send emails to friends for pledges
  • What Counts as Reading?
    • Teachers reading aloud to their class will count toward class totals, not individual totals.
    • Regular textbook reading for assignments does not count.
      • Exceptions are novel studies for English classes. Teachers will determine what counts.
    • Students reading to students counts for both students.
    • Parents reading to children counts
    • Siblings reading to each other counts for both
    • Audiobooks count only when students read along with a hard copy or digital text.
    • Online [YouTube] books that are read to children count for K4 only

Friday, February 20

Final Results

  • All minutes and money will be finalized on Friday — No logs will be accepted after 2:15 PM.
  • Donations collected after that time will only count toward the total school goal — not individuals.
  • Prizes will be awarded on Monday afternoon.
