Miss 7 did the MS Readathon this year. We have just tallied up her fundrasing efforts and she raised $53.45 and read 42 books ranging from easy to hard. She is so proud of her acheivements as are we and is already thinking of the books she can read for next years readathon.
I have a cousin who has lived with MS for the past 17 years. She is the reason i used to do the readathon and i raised thousands of dollars for her and all those other people out there liveing with this dibilitating diesease. If your child has a love for reading then maybe they might like to do the readathon next year. There are prizes for raising certain amounts but for alot of kids i know who have done the readathon its the satisfaction of knowing they have helped someone who really is in need of all our help and support.
I truely believe reading is a great way for kids to broaden their vocabulary and understanding of words. Even if they read a simple kids magazine or the jokes page from the paper, all reading is great :)
