How Does It Work?

Read our blog post here for a detailed description of our Go All In 10,000 Hours Reading For Fun campaign.

  • Schools choose their own event duration, reading target hours and fundraising goals.
  • Schools display the Giant Clock and Book Tower to track progress and results.
  • Pupils read texts they find fun, contributing towards their school’s total hours.
  • Reading time is submitted online and via teachers, updating the school’s Giant Clock.
  • 100% pupil sponsorship (optional) and business sponsorship funds new books for the school.
  • All pupils receive prizes, with additional special recognition awards, and every school’s hours contribute to the Grand Total Clock.
