Benington Church of England Primary

Dear Parent/Guardian,

To celebrate 2026 being the National year of Reading and encourage a lifelong love of reading at home and school, we are running a sponsored read between the 5^th October – 12^th October.

The project is being organised in conjunction with our Usborne Partner, Ally Bennett and all the money raised will go towards brand new books for our school. In addition to the sponsorship money, Usborne will also donate up to 60% of the total raised in EXTRA FREE BOOKS to the school. So, for every £600 raised, we will get an extra £360 in FREE Usborne books!

 Please help us to enhance our reading resources for pupils by encouraging your child to spend a small amount of time each day either reading to themselves, to others, or being read to. They can read books, comics, magazines, newspapers, menus, websites, recipes, poems, leaflets, instructions – anything with words!

There will even be a prize for the child that has read the most pages!

 If you are able to support our sponsored read, your child would have recieved a sponsorship form and reading log  if they wish to use it to record their reading. Please could you bring these to school by the 16th October and any sponsor money collected would be great to electronically added to this link please.

We look forward to having lots more books for your child to read, share and enjoy.

For more information, please contact your class teacher.
