UK Readathon - it's so easy to run!

Bayard is a proud sponsor of MS READATHON

Taking part in Readathon encourages children to get the reading habit and to help other children who are seriously ill. Every year hundreds of schools and thousands of children raise well over £1 million for The Roald Dahl Foundation and CLIC Sargent by reading tens of thousands of books between them. Come on. You can make a difference too.

How does it work?
Children read books, or do other literacy-based activities. In return, their family and friends pledge money for charity.

How easy?
Readathon give you everything you need in your free pack to run a successful Readathon. Teachers who run Readathon for the first time are amazed at how easy it is and find it almost runs itself.

How long?
The average Readathon lasts about three weeks from giving out the sponsor forms to collecting the money. Some schools ask children to read during the holidays, some run it in term time. One school even had a 24 hour marathon read!
