The goal of the Reach for the Stars Program is for the participants to read (or be read to) 300 minutes or more over a two-week period. This is an average of 30 minutes per weekday. Education experts encourage routine daily reading and recommend a minimum of 30 minutes every day. What groups can participate? Any organized group can participate! This can include schools, individual classes, public libraries, Scout troops, preschools, daycares, church groups, clubs, charities, sports teams, homeschool groups, etc.How does it work? Children collect pledges from family and friends, then log their reading for two weeks. (The children do NOT go door-to-door.) Pledges can be a flat rate (for example, $10.00 regardless of how much is read) or based on the actual time spent reading (for example, $5.00 for every 100 minutes of reading). Reach for the Stars is very flexible and can be customized to suit the needs of your organization. Any sized group can participate. What do we earn?

If you prefer, you can contribute some or all of the books to a charitable organization of your choice. Your organization earns an additional 10% in books when pledges total $1000 or more!
