This is a great reading challenge for kids. I know, why am I posting this on Mundie Moms? Well many of us are parents or have younger siblings or work with kids and I couldn't not share the news about this awesome Read A Thon. Plus, it's Banned Books Week and we were shocked to find out Roald Dahl books have been banned, so what better way to continue in helping promote Banned Books!!
The Challenge- runs from September 2010- December 2010 and is for kids ages 7-13 who live in the United States. All kids need to do is read 3 Roald Dahl books between now and December.
Participants can pick up their Dahlathon Official Reading Journal at any local bookstore or library or they can download a copy (see the link at the bottom of the post). Once you've read your three books, kids will need a parent/teacher/guardian to sign their slip and send it to Penguin Young Readers Group and they'll receive an official Dahlathon Award!
Be sure to visit the site for a complete list of rules, and see what participants can win here http://www.roalddahl.com/Default.aspx?referrer=dahlathon®ion=US
Thank you Kathy for making me aware of this & promoting it Mundie Kids for our Banned Books Week, which is found here http://tinyurl.com/29v77nz!
