The Multiple Sclerosis
'Society of Canada
launched its in-
ternationally recognized
reading motivational
program this week. As in
the past, the MS READ-a-
thon aimed •at
stimulating reading
among elementary and
junior high students
across Canada.
Robert Ortlieb, READ-
a-thon Coordinator, said
that nearly 1,500
eleMentary and junior
high students in 10 Huron
County schools will be
attending READ-a-thon
rffb1teirom April
through April 18.
Guidelines for the
program are simple. The
MS READ-a-thon begins
in the schools where the
children learn about the
program. Each child who
registers receives a
READ-a-thon kit. The
child then reads books of
his choice and obtains
pledges from family,
friends, and neighbOrs.
.The child reads as many
books as he cares to and
gets as many pledges as
he wishes. At the end of
the program, usually a..
four to six week reading,
period, a drawing is held
to award prizes to
children who complete
the program.
