First Book Speed ReadTM
A First Book Speed Read is a playful fundraising event with a tangible impact: every $2.50 generated places a brand new book into the hands of a child in need. Speed Readers are challenged to read as many words as they can out loud from a classic children's book in 15 seconds. Anyone can participate, whether as a guest reader, sponsor or donor. Funds generated through donations help First Book reach more children in need.
Thank you for your support…now let's get ready to SPEED READ!

2. Sponsor A Reader
If you know someone participating in a First Book Speed Read, you can sponsor him or her by making a donation. You can also see a tally of how much each reader has raised. Search for a reader by first or last name.
