Wright Denny Intermediate School has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year! Read-A-Thons excite your reader about reading and allow friends and family to encourage your child to read even more. Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday, February 24, 2025. About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts, we will send home instructions on activating your reader's page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress. We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/WfTRyV/1 and following the simple instructions. We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much time, gives your child a reason to read, and helps build stronger reading skills. We hope EVERYONE participates. Thanks so much, Wright Denny Intermediate School
