The Age MS Readathon Ultimate Story and The Sun-Herald Ultimate Story is an annual competition.

It is a fantastic opportunity for your students to participate in a fun, creative activity that that promotes the enjoyment of reading and writing, while raising awareness of Multiple Sclerosis.

How you and your students can be part of the Ultimate Story:

First of all, you and your students watch the The Age MS Readathon Ultimate Story and The Sun-Herald Ultimate Story grow from the pens and keyboards of Australia’s best children's authors from the Penguin publishing group.

Each week a different author will write a chapter of the story, adding new twists and turns to the exciting journey.

At the conclusion of chapter 9, students are invited to complete the story by submitting the final chapter.

Twenty students will be awarded for their efforts and one lucky finalist will have their final chapter published either in The Age or The Sun-Herald.

This is a unique literary activity too good to miss.

Stay tuned for entry details and publishing dates.
