The response to your Ready Steady Read event was amazing! Congratulations to all who took part and collectively read for 6355 minutes, that’s 106 hours 25 minutes! You also raised £652 in sponsorship which means you have already reached the top level of free book commission for your school. Half the money raised has been returned to the children in vouchers to spend with me (see below for more details) and the other half goes to teachers to choose books for class use. PLUS I am able to donate a further £391 FREE BOOKS. Thank you so much for your support.

As you can see, we dressed up for World Book Day to go along with our sponsored book read. Last year, we read for nearly 5000 extra minutes and managed to hit the top level of commission giving us £600 free books. Let’s hope we can do just as well or even better this year.
