KUED's 18th Annual Reading Marathon

KUED is once again inviting children ages two through 6th grade to participate in the 18th annual Reading Marathon from November 15 through December 6, 2010. The statewide challenge begins Monday, November 15 when public libraries and other community organizations host kick-off parties. At the parties, children will find the information they will need to participate. KUED hosts the annual marathon to encourage kids and their families to spend quality time reading. Participants may read alone, read to someone else or be read to by another person.

Children who complete the marathon will be invited to a special Super Reader Party in January, with prizes, games, activities as well as a chance to meet popular PBS characters. Up-dates will also be posted to KUED's Facebook and Twitter. More details to come, stay tuned!
