How Does The
Read And Spell Australia Program Work?
With
Read And Spell Australia you can
choose which event you would like to implement at your
school.
You can choose to hold
a:
Read-A-Rama
Super Spell
The
Read-A-Rama and Super Spell
programs only take a few minutes to organise, yet they can
help raise thousands of dollars for your school in a fun
and rewarding environment. Just tie it in with your
literacy program at school...You can't get any simpler
than that!
Read-A-Rama
Reading is the cornerstone of
all learning and is crucial in developing reading skills at
the earliest possible time in a child's life.
Read-A-Rama is a great way to get
children reading for pleasure and develop a life long habit.
Most schools have a literacy
program where children are required to read a few minutes a
day.
Here are some ideas:
Why not have a
Read-A-Rama(read-a-thon)
within your literacy program
Students can seek
sponsorship from friends and relatives to read as many
books as possible (young children can have books read
to them)
Read-A-Rama
is a great way to encourage and motivate children to read.
It also teaches them that hard work, helping others and
focus brings great rewards.
Super Spell
You can use your weekly words
lists. A Super Spell only takes a few minutes to organise
and is a great way to get children to practice their lists.
What To Do:
Give a list of words
(applicable to that age group) to each student in each
year level
Send home spelling lists
with sponsor forms
Practice the words
regularly in class
Younger students can
practice their site words they learn in class
Students can also do
puzzles or find-a-word worksheets that suit their age
group
Even if you have
not participated in such a program before, our easy to

parents. It contains everything you need to run a successful
fundraiser from start to finish in half the time.
