Bookathon to boost reading launched next month

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Blind Low Vision NZ is launching a bookathon to inspire children to get reading.

The Great Kiwi Bookathon is being rolled out in June to promote reading and to raise funds for people suffering from vision loss.

Registrations are now open for parents to sign up their children- and themselves- to read as many books as they can.

Participants are encouraged to seek sponsorship to raise funds for Blind Low Vision NZ.

Go to bookathon.co.nz to register online.
