Children's attitudes toward reading are based around their experiences in reading. The Readathon campaign encourages not only a literate nation but rather a nation that finds joy in reading. Throughout the campaign, the goal was to create an environment that is friendly for readers and reading.
Readathon activities included in-store readings with role models that children could identify with, school visits where children where read to and fun activities that children could enjoy while learning.
Readathon encourages reading not only in schools but also in households, by letting children read to their parents. Their confidence is built so that when the time comes for them to take up seats in Parliament, They are ready to take to the podium.During the campaign children from various schools were given the opportunity to spend the day in Parliament, where they where encouraged to dream big.
Children's literacy development determines children's future success in reading and writing.

The campaign understand that teaching reading methods were not so important if learners did not have access to books so that they could master what they learn. CNA alongside READ collected books and are donating them to different school across the country that do not have easy access to reading material.
Congratulations to the CNA Readathon 2010 campaign in successfully sending out a message of literacy and encouraging confident readers. Children's confidence determines whether they can succeed or not, and their confidence in reading is built up as they read.
