Early reading makes clever children

Bayard is a proud sponsor of READATHON

Research shows that reading from an early age will increase intelligence. The earlier a child starts reading, the greater their vocabulary and the better their cognitive skills. Teachers, you can motivate your pupils to rediscover the joy of reading while raising much-needed money for people with Multiple Sclerosis.

How?
Through the MS READaTHON – a motivational reading programme run in schools all over Ireland.

When?
You can start signing up your pupils in September and reading begins on 17th October.

Why?
Every teacher and child receives their own information pack and those that return their sponsorship receive a thank you gift and a certificate of appreciation. There are great prizes on offer and schools can keep 10% of funds raised.

How to sign up
The MS READaTHON team will send a sign-up pack to every school in Ireland in September or you can log onto http://msreadathon.focusnewmedia.com or call +00353 (1)850 650 950.
