Take part in this year’s Monster Bookathon, gobble up pictures and stories to raise funds for the Children’s Book Project and you’ll be helping children across the UK to have access to books of their own.
The 2024 Monster Bookathon invites children and young people of all ages to devour stories and to have fun reading while raising much-needed funds for the Children’s Book Project. We are a nationwide charity that wants every child to have the chance to own their own books. Every £15 raised enables us to gift two books to every child in one primary school class.
Sign up as part of your school or community group today and take on your own monster challenge!
Anyone can take part in the Monster Bookathon. You don’t need to be a good reader or to read quickly. You can set yourself a reading target based on your preferences and even discover your powers of illustration along the way! Simply set your own Bookathon goal and then enjoy working towards it. Some ideas follow below but remember, these are just suggestions. You can create your own reading goal and invite your friends and family to sponsor you to reach it.
Choose a Monster Challenge from our pre-set list or design your own. You can write your goal at the top of your challenge page.
[If you wish] Ask friends and family to sponsor you to reach your goal. We’ve got lots of tips and inspiration.
Lose yourself in books, stories and illustrations. Visit your school or local library to widen your access to new books or swap with your friends.
Share and celebrate your achievements with your sponsors, maximise your fundraising and collect your rewards.
Everyone that completes their Challenge will receive a personalised printable Monster Bookathon Certificate regardless of the amount raised whilst anyone that raises £50 or more will earn one of our Monster Bookathon pin-badges.
Your personalised certificate will be emailed to your school or parent that helped you to complete your Monster Bookathon registration once your Bookathon is complete.
And if you raise £50 or more your pin-badge will be posted to your school or club for the lead adult to pass on to you.
Ask your family and friends: Ask your parents and grandparents to make a donation to your page. This is the best way to get started!
