Annual Read-a-Thon
The Shining Lighte Youth Charity proudly hosts an annual Summer Read-a-Thon throughout the month of August as part of our back-to-school initiatives. This program is designed to promote reading and literacy among youth during the summer break.
Participants are divided into two age groups: 7–12 years and 13–18 years, and they compete by reading as many books as they can from August 1st to August 31st. To qualify, participants must submit a one-page book report for each book they read.
- For ages 7–12: Books must be a minimum of 20 pages each.
- For ages 13–18: Books must be a minimum of 50 pages each.
As an added incentive, participants have the chance to win a free pair of shoes for their efforts, combining the joy of reading with a practical and exciting reward. This initiative fosters a love for reading while helping prepare youth for the upcoming school year.
