Lordswood School Readathon
Dear Lordswood Families
To celebrate World Book Day and encourage a lifelong love of reading at home and school, we are running a sponsored read between Monday 4th March and Friday 8rd March 2024.
The project is being organised in conjunction with our local Usborne Partner, Melanie Mitchell from Precious Moments Bookshop, and all the money raised will go towards brand new Usborne books for our school. In addition to the sponsorship money, Usborne will also donate up to 60% of the total raised in EXTRA FREE BOOKS to our school. So, for every £600 raised, we will get an extra £360 in FREE Usborne books!
Our target is to raise £1000 in sponsor money, with Usborne donating an additional £600 of books for free if we achieve this. This will give us a total of £1600 to spend on new Usborne books and resources for our children.
Please help us to enhance our reading resources for pupils by encouraging your child to spend a small amount of time each day either reading to themselves, to others, or being read to. They can read books, comics, magazines, newspapers, menus, websites, recipes, poems, leaflets, instructions – anything with words!
If you are able to support our sponsored read, please find enclosed a sponsorship form and reading log for your child if they wish to use it to record their reading. Any sponsorship by friends and family will be gratefully received and we hope the children all really enjoy this focus on books and reading. Sponsor funds can be sent into school anytime by Friday 15th March by using the online link

We look forward to having lots more books for your child to read, share and enjoy.
Thank you so much for your support! Let’s get reading!
