Sponsored reads
Ready, Steady...Read! is Usborne's simple sponsored reading
event that encourages reading at home and at school.
The more pupils read, the more money will be raised to buy books for the school library.
On top of the money raised, Usborne will give your school UP TO 60% IN EXTRA FREE BOOKS.
How
does Ready, Steady...Read! work?
Children are sponsored to read as much as they can in a given time - term time, school holidays, a 24 hour race - the choice is yours.
Reading can include books, comics, magazines, newspapers, menus, recipes, poems - anything with words.
We provide reading logs for recording the total number of minutes spent reading, and the sponsorship money can go towards new books for the school, for the library, for pupils themselves... you choose.
