The main focus of the Read-a-thon at CVMS is for everyone to know we are committed to improving childrens future reading skills. To that end, the Read-a-thon promises to be a fun, exciting journey for all participants as they begin a personal Reading Adventure that challenges each reader to complete 10+ reading sessions over our 2-week event.

Reading to young children is proven to improve cognitive skills and help along the process of cognitive development. When you begin reading aloud to your child, it essentially provides them with background knowledge on their young world, which helps them make sense of what they see, hear, and read.

We understand that, as parents and guardians, you have high expectations for the quality of your childs education but also have limited time.

Thats why we chose to hold a Read-a-thon. You will find this to be the easiest fundraiser possible just like our Spring Walk-a-thon. By simply sharing our JustGiving read-a-thon site, friends and family anywhere in the world can show their support for your reader by making a donation to our Read-a-thon.

Your involvement in the Read-a-thon will help your child develop a lasting love of reading, and we appreciate your support!
