The Millionares Club is an award given to students for reading for enjoyment.
All students at our school can work towards this but this is especially aimed at the senior part of the school.
The award is broken into 4 sections: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Millionare club. To attain the Bronze award students must read 50,000 words, Silver award - 250,000 words, Gold award - 500,000 words, and Millionare Club is reached when a student reads 1,000,000 words.
When students are reading for enjoyment, either at home or at school, they keep a log of approximate number of words read.
To do this they count up the words on an average page and multiply it by the number of pages read e.g. if the average page is 200 words and the student read 10pages, the total of 2000 would be entered on the millionaires club log for that day, and initialled by the parent or teacher.
Alternatively students can wait untill they have finished reading the entire book and then enter the amount.
Room 6 have been doing the Millionaires Club and now other classes are going to do it.
Watch out for the display of our great readers in the library
