Reach For The Stars!! is a pledge based reading incentive program that works like a read-a-thon. We put books into the hands of students and reward them for reading. At the same time, it provides the school or organization cash and/or books.
What is the goal of the program?
The goal of Reach for the Stars!! is for the children to read, or be read to for 300 minutes over a two week period of time. This is an average of 30 minutes per weekday as recommended by educational experts.
Who can participate?
This program is designed to benefit any organizational group, such as schools, individual classrooms, clubs, preschools, church groups, youth groups, homeschool groups, charities, businesses and public libraries.
How does the program work?
Parents and children ask friends, family, people they know (NO door-to-door), to sponsor them and encourage them in their daily reading by pledging any amount. Ask your organization if corporate sponsors are available.
How do the kids benefit?
They develop the important habit of daily reading! They receive Usborne books and other prizes for participating! The Reach for the Stars program helps children discover the joy of reading and gives them the opportunity to choose their very own Usborne books to keep!
How can your organization benefit?
Reach for the Stars has a flexible option to meet all your needs.
