How it works
MS Readathon – the month when kids fall in love with reading
1–31 August 2026
MS Readathon invites and inspires thousands of kids across the country to set a reading goal in August -whether it’s daily reads, longer books, or learning new words. In one month, their focus deepens. Their confidence grows. And their imaginations take flight.
It’s free to sign up, every reader receives a free welcome pack, and gets access to fun tools and resources to keep them reading all month long.
Readers and their families raise funds to support families in Australia impacted by MS and neurological conditions.
