The read-a-thon was the most amazing encouragement for my child who started to read only days before the event.
Spaghetti dinner for 5 $20
Books from the book fair $50
Seeing my child read and tally his stars on his chart PRICELESS!!!!

Thanks Lindsay and all. You made a difference in at least one child - mine.
