Unbound is a month-long readathon for students in secure settings. At BreakFree, we believe it is critical for students in secure facilities to explore the power of reading at every opportunity; to read for pleasure, not just for a grade; and to develop the habit of reading. Unbound provides a framework and incentives to increase students’ engagement with books.
​
We sponsor a national readathon competition for schools to participate in, host weekly challenges, and offer many prizes and rewards for schools and students that participate!
Reading gives us someplace to go
when we have to stay where we are

Plant this ticket in a book that isn't often read at your school. If a student finds it and reads the book, you can let us know and your student can win a book prize!
Have a student that loves to write? Use this fan fiction mini-lesson and encourage your students to write a continuation of the book they read for the readathon. If you submit their writing to us, students will be entered to win a book prize!
