What exactly is a Read-a-thon?
A read-a-thon starts with you setting a reading goal for yourself. Decide how many books you want to read between now (February 8) and March 20, 2010. Next, you ask people to sponsor you. That means, you tell them your reading goal and ask them to pledge a certain amount for each book that you read during the Read-a-thon. For example, if a sponsor pledges 1 Euro per book that you read, and you read 10 books during the Read-a-thon, you will collect 10 Euros from that sponsor after the Read-a-thon is complete. From now until March 20, READ, READ, READ! The more you read, the more money you will help to raise for earthquake relief in Haiti! Then, between March 20 and March 27, you will go back to your sponsors with your Book Log and collect the amount they pledged times the books you read. By March 27, you should return the money you collected to your teacher, along with your Book Log and Sponsor List.
