Read-A-Thon 2025

PS20 Reads! 

The PS20 Read-A-Thon seeks to encourage a love of reading in our students through friendly, collaborative competition. Between March 14 - 21, students and families will be asked to record every minute the student spends reading outside of school on the β€œFor Our School” website (and hard copy paper logs are available for students and families who would prefer pen & paper tracking. We also encourage you to use the β€œFor Our School” website to request donations from friends and family to support school-wide literacy programs.

Instructions (set-up by march 14)

  1. Use the link or QR code to sign up each of your students on forourschool.org

  2. Send at least two (2) emails to friends and family to support your reader

  3. Log reading sessions in your child’s account or on the paper log

Rules (March 14 - 21)

  • Record minutes read outside of the regular school day

  • Students can read independently or with an adult

  • Minutes spent listening to audiobooks don’t count (sorry!)

Rewards (minutes tallied on march 21)

The Read-a-Thon committee will monitor donation requests sent via the β€œFor Our School” website and minutes recorded by each student.

  • ALL STUDENTS who send at least two (2) donation-request emails will get a Read-a-Thon bag tag as a participation prize.

  • The CLASS in each grade with the most reading minutes will win an icey cart party!

  • The INDIVIDUAL STUDENT in each grade with the most reading minutes will win a gift certificate to Greenlight Books

Thanks for supporting our efforts to promote literacy at PS 20!
