What is a Dahlathon?

A reading challenge that encourages kids to read Roald Dahl books from September to December. Kids track their reading progress in a
Dahlathon Reading Journal (
free copies available here). Once they've read three books they send in the entry form (an adult must sign the form) included in the Reading Journal to receive their
Official Dahlathon Award.
What is the Dahlathon Award?
The first
5000 participants who send in their signed entry forms will receive:
An official
Reading Dahlathon Certificate
A free
Roald Dahl book adapted into a play
Bonus: The first
1000 participants will receive an official
Reading Dahlathon Medal!
