Countryside Read-A-Thon

 

February 25 – March 11, 2025

 

Please join us for our Countryside Read-A-Thon! The purpose of this event is to help foster a love of reading at Countryside! This year, our Read-a-Thon is not a fundraiser, it’s simply a fun event to spark a love of reading throughout our school.

 

Parents, please help your student(s) set realistic reading goals based on your child’s age and development.

 

Important Notes:

 

1. The Read-A-Thon will take place over two weeks, from February 25 – March 11, 2025.

 

2. Parents, no need to keep track of minutes read this year! Instead, students will find fun ways to read with the help of a reading Bingo board. Even better, if they get a bingo, they can enter to win a Scholastic Gift Card for our upcoming Book Fair!

 

3. What counts as reading? Any reading outside of school! Your child can read fiction, non-fiction, magazines and newspapers, poetry, etc. Listening to audio books counts too, as does being read to. Our goal is to foster a love of reading and reading comes in a lot of different shapes and sizes!

 

We look forward to all participants having a great time!
