Rewards and Recognition

Schools will receive a consolidated performance report of their students' participation in the National Read Aloud Challenge, allowing them to track progress and celebrate achievements.

Additionally, the coordinator and school authorities will be appreciated for their support and dedication to promoting literacy.

Children will be aiming to read aloud as much as possible to hit various milestones over the challenge period. When a milestone is achieved, your child will receive a personalised certificate signed by our Challenge Ambassador, Prajnash Gunneswaran.

If your child achieves both milestones, they will be featured in the Hall of Fame section. What's more, they can compete to win a gift hamper from Scholastic if they continue to read even after achieving both milestones.
