2-4-6 Reading Program

2-4-6 is a fun and easy reading program designed to encourage parents, teachers and children to work together through reading.



How will schools benefit?


* Each classroom receives 100% of all funds raised to purchase educational materials from Discovery Toys.


* Your students receive the benefits of reading (or being read to) plus the advantage of using Discovery Toys' educational materials in the classroom.




* Every child having 6 sponsors and/or $24.00 in pledges will receive a certificate of achievement for participating in the program.

I will also donate 10% of the total raised to the school to purchase more Discovery Toys materials for the classrooms or 5% that can be used for pizza/popsicle parties for the children who participate.



Here's how it works...



2 WEEKS of reading teamwork.

Parents, teachers and children read together just 24 minutes a day

* (12 at home & 12 at school) for a 2 week period.


4 HOURS of total reading time.

At the end of the 2 weeks, each parent, teacher, child team will have read 4 hours together.


6 SPONSORS pledge their support.

Each parent and child team finds 6 sponsors to support their program.

By pledging just $1.00/hr. each sponsor contributes just $4.00 per child.





As a former elementary education teacher, I believe that reading opens the door to new worlds of fun and inspiration for our children. Reading books together is one of the ways children and adults can share quality time.
