Reading across Canada
Starting on Thursday, March 31st, 2022 to
Thursday, April 14th, 2022, the students at Waverley 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.
Fun facts!
After completing this Read-A-Thon event,
students will have had over 200-1,000 additional minutes of reading
during the school year. This has proven to increase their reading
speed, comprehension and higher thinking level - a wonderful byproduct
is that they frequently increase time they spend in recreational
reading providing a great alternative to video games and social media content.
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
How will the funds be used?
85% of the net funds raised by this Read-A-Thon will help fund much needed technology updates for our classrooms. The iPads and Apple TV's will support student learning by engagement in interactive, curriculum based, individual and group activities and projects. The remaining 15% goes towards Mind Growth Education to help cover costs such as subscription cost, administrative fee + the Paypal or Stripe payment processing fees and transaction costs.
