How does it work?
- Between Mar. 4 - 19, students read and keep track of the minutes read.
- Every. Minute. Counts! (asynchronous, reading to/with your child, group reading)
- Students fill out a Reading Log (daily is easiest/best) with their minutes.
- Reading Logs are a available in a variety of formats for your convenience:
- Between Mar. 20-26, students turn in their Reading Logs: via Google form [1]; hand in to their teacher or at Library pick-up; or via email to read-a-thon@cpes-pta.org.
- Collect and turn in pledges (see fundraiser details below).
