What is Kansas Read & Move It?

The Kansas Read & Move It campaign is a collaborative initiative between Special Olympics Kansas (SOKS) and Temple Made Fitness (TMF).
Our goal is simple: help children build lifelong healthy habits through daily reading and physical movement.

 

Each day, kids complete 15 minutes of reading and 15 minutes of movement — tracking their progress with fun animal-themed stickers or a digital chart.
For every row completed, they earn rewards from local community partners like smoothie shops, bookstores, and ice cream parlors.

How It Works

Once a class completes the 30-day challenge, Temple Made Fitness — along with our community partners — will return to the school for a Sweet Treat Day or Pizza Party to celebrate their consistency and effort!
