Parents and educators are amazed at the renewed interest in reading, which it fosters.
Children read to help others, learn social responsibility and good citizenship.
Representatives from the Multiple Sclerosis Society present the half-hour program entirely. Teachers do not have to keep records or collect money. ALL children who complete the program receive recognition. No matter how many books they read or how much money they raise, they each receive an official READaTHON Certificate of Accomplishment. ALL children in elementary school and middle school can participate.
