Reading across Canada

Starting on Monday, November 14th, 2022 to Friday, November 25th, 2022, the students at Skwo:wech Elementary School will start a virtual, cross-Canada road trip via an innovative program from Mind Growth Education to complete their reading challenge.

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

Will they be able to complete the challenge by November 25th, 2022? Stay tuned to find out!

Prizes

There will be individual reading prizes, and the division with the most reading minutes will win a class prize!
Please note: Please be honest with the amount of the reading minutes you log in. Any odd or outrageous daily entries will be flagged and/or questioned which might result in disqualification.

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! We’ve 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 Canada" reading adventure route. There’s no extra work or cost for the student/families — Just make sure you keep reading! #greatthingshappenwhenyouread
