Reading for fun, reading for learning, reading for life. These are the goals of the Kiwanis Read-a-thon program, an exciting literacy-improvement activity that puts the spotlight on reading in the classroom and at home.

This web site brings together all the elements you'll need to run a successful Read-a-thon in your school, from backpack handouts to classroom fun. Take a few minutes to look through the site, and read about some of the successes.

We're sure you are going to catch "Read-a-thon fever" and jump-start even more enthusiasm for reading in your school by launching a Read-a-thon of your own.
