Their daily reading sessions will take them on a storybook adventure across this great planet, building more reading skills while exposing them to all sorts of fun and educational facts about the World.

Will they be able to complete the challenge by February 10th, 2023? Stay tuned to find out!

Fun facts!

After completing this Read-A-Thon Fundraiser, participants will have had over 200-1,000 additional minutes of reading and will have planted real trees in Canada in the process!

GREAT NEWS! Mind Growth Education has partnered with One Tree Planted #onetreeplanted . One Tree Planted will plant a tree for every 25% of the reading challenge a class completes along their "Read Across the World" reading adventure route. There’s no extra work or cost for the student/families — Just make sure you keep reading! #greatthingshappenwhenyouread
