WHY SHOULD YOU GET INVOLVED?
You know how important reading is for children, it can take them on incredible journeys of discovery, awaken their imagination, and build their confidence.The MS Readathon has been inspiring kids to read more for 45 years and this August it will be more fun than ever before.
We have authors and ambassadors sharing what they love about the MS readathon to help inspire kids every step of the way! There are also some awesome prizes to be won throughout the month of August!

HELP US GET MORE KIDS READING
Last year Aussie kids read 181,903 books, this August we want more kids to read more books! Kids can read anything they want including comics, magazines, novels, or read-along audiobooks. It’s a great way to get the most reluctant kids reading.Kids who are registered can log books through their online dashboard, earn badges, review books, and share their progress with their teacher.
All you will need to do now is register your interest. We will provide you with an update in May, so you know what to send to parents to get them to register their kids. The MS Readathon is an epic adventure that kids will love, and together we can inspire more kids to read.
If you're in Victoria, all the books read during The MS Readathon can also be used for the Premiers Reading Challenge.
