TIPS & TRICKS FOR OUR UPCOMING READING RAINBOW READATHON Readathon duration: June 9 to June 18, 2023 (10 days) Sign-up deadline: June 1 Team announcements: June 2
Have you signed up for our group's team readathon? Are you vaguely interested but don't think you can spare the time? Well then, this post is for you!
Time Commitment Are you worried that you don't have the time for a 10-day readathon? Well, every participant will be part of a team so what really matters is your team's performance. Even if you can only spare time to read 50 pages a day, your team will benefit from your presence!
Friendship A team-based challenge is a great way to get to know some of your fellow group members better!
Readathon Prompts Each team of up to 11 readers will work together to read books containing the color of their team in the title or cover.
Choosing Your Books Due to the open nature of these prompts, this readathon should be perfect for those looking to make progress on their backlog or find new books they want to read for the challenge! The only requirement for your books is that the cover consists of (mostly) your team’s color or it has the color in the title.
Book Length The readathon is not the time to read that 880-page fantasy novel you've been dying to start! Alternatively, you have two choices: (1) Finish your chunkster before the readathon starts; or (2) Read all but the last 100 pages before the readathon. Then, you can count it for a prompt (but only count those 100 pages toward the readathon). A book has to have at least 100 pages left to count toward a prompt!
Reading Momentum Take a look at the readathon prompts and choose eligible books that you really want to read. Don't try reading books that bore you during the readathon; that will only dampen your reading enthusiasm.
Readathon Benefit You'll make some serious progress toward your reading goals while making new friends at the same time. What's not to love?
