The MS Readathon is Australia's premier reading-based fundraiser.

Running for the month of June, it's a fun, educational and rewarding addition to your current classroom and extra-curricular reading activities, suitable for students of all ages and reading stages.

School reward incentive
To recognise the important role teachers and librarians play in encouraging children during the MS Readathon, we are offering every school with 20 or more children registered online in the 2009 MS Readathon, a Penguin book-pack for their library!

Complements any school literacy focus
The MS Readathon has no set book list, allowing students to include home readers, classroom texts and books from the Premiers Reading Challenge in their reading.

Minimal school involvement
Once children are registered, MS Readathon communicates with them directly via their home address. This removes any need for schools to collect monies or distribute reading rewards.

Here you will find all the information you need to know regarding:

• How the MS Readathon works
• Ways to get your school or library involved
• Reading and classroom activities
• Teachers' FAQs
• Updated performances of Top MS Readathon schools and libraries.
• Kid's Zone activities, quizzes and more to educate them about MS
