The MS Readathon program is all about providing a fun environment for children to improve their reading skills and feel they are doing something special to help Australian people with MS. We call this reading for a reason.

To help explain to children what the MS Readathon is about and give them ownership of the program, much of the information on the website communicates directly with kids:

Kids Zone – The dedicated children’s area of the MS Readathon website.

Fun With Bosko - Our very popular MS Readathon mascot encourages reading and MS education through fun ideas, activities, games and quizzes.

Readings Rewards – A great selection of exciting rewards to be earned. Every child who completes the MS Readathon receives a ‘thank you’ reward.

Readathon Readers Club – Members hear about new stories and books to read, share thoughts on their reading, win awards and possibly enter the E-Hall of Fame.

Kids Reading – The different reading opportunities available to your kid in this year MS Readathon.

Fundraising Tips – Some handy hints to help guide your child in their sponsorship fundraising

Members Area – Includes a personal web page for every child, and a place to keep a tally of their sponsor money and send emails to friends and family.
