Read Alerts
A motivational technique from the original MS Read-A-Thon in 1977:  Teachers, students and staff were to carry a book with them everywhere they went. When a read alert was announced over the P.A. system everyone had to stop what they were doing and read for the designated amount of time! 

Book Circles
Ask your class or smaller groups of students to read the same book. Follow up with a group discussion on the book!

Be a Critic
Have students write reviews of the books they have read. Pass them around the class, send them to our website or to a book review contest usually held by major bookstores.

Author Fan Letter
Students could write a letter to their favorite author. They can tell them why they liked their book and about their success with the MS Read-A-Thon!
