Your school's Read-A-Thon just got a whole lot more fun! If your school is hosting a Read-A-Thon with ForOurSchool.org, this app provides everything you need to reach your goals. Before you download it, you first need to join your school's event and create an account at ForOurSchool.org. To do that, you will need a sign-up link provided by your school. If you don't have it, reach out to your teacher or contact us at ForOurSchool.org/contact and we'll help you get set up. Here is everything in the app you have to look forward to: * Log Reading Time Record past reading sessions or use the built-in stopwatch to track exactly how many minutes you've read. You can also add notes to any reading session so you can remember all your past reading adventures. Note: If your school requires parents to approve reading time, they can do so through their parent account on ForOurSchool.org. * Track Your Goals Watch the bar fill up as you get closer to reaching and surpassing your reading goals! * Did You Know? Reading Facts Check the app regularly for new and surprising reading facts. Did you know that printed books date back to the year 868? It's true! * School Leaderboards If your school has chosen to incorporate some friendly competition, see how you stack up against your classmates and other classes.
