Why run the Read-a-thon for 31 days?
The timeframe for the Read-A-Thon is based on scientific evidence indicating that any activity done consecutively 21 to 28 times develops into a habit. In this case, it is the love and habit of reading that Sa Aklat Sisikat hopes to develop. This is inspired by the fact that the habit of reading is best cultivated in the youth and encouraged by the belief that literacy is all about creating a desire to read.
