The application period runs from the 20th to the 30th of this month. Any member of the Creative Convergence Gifted School can participate. To join, participants need to download the "150 Reading Marathon" app, check in five times a week, read ten books per week, and complete the assigned missions.


When a book is read, it is automatically synced with the Creative Convergence Gifted School app, allowing participants to track their distance and position within the Reading Marathon app. The distance is calculated based on the following activities: ▲reading attendance emotional conversations with parents and writing reviews. For every ten books read per week, 200 meters are added per book. Those who complete the marathon receive a special completion reward and a convenience store gift certificate.



A Kyowon Red Pen representative stated, "As children read books from various fields and complete missions to finish the full marathon course, they not only develop an interest in reading but also experience a sense of accomplishment. Parents have reported that the Reading Marathon greatly helps their children become more active readers and form consistent reading habits, expressing a very high level of satisfaction."
