A readathon app for schools that need more than donations.
PagePledge brings online donation pages, reading logs, classroom tools, take-home sheets, rewards, and campaign reporting into one web app.
Run the campaign from setup to wrap-up.
A readathon app should do more than collect payments. Schools need to import students, get families started, track reading, motivate classrooms, process donations, and understand the final results.
PagePledge is a browser-based readathon app, so families, teachers, donors, and school admins can use it without installing anything from an app store. This page focuses on the app experience; the general readathon software overview covers every feature in one place.
A web app, not an app store download.
PagePledge runs in the browser. There is nothing for families to find in the App Store or Google Play, no update to install, and no separate login app to keep track of — the link from the take-home sheet opens the right page directly.
That matters for a school fundraiser, where most participants use the tool for two or three weeks once a year. Asking every family to install software would lose people at the first step. A link and a QR code do not.
Works where families already are.
Families scan a QR code from the take-home sheet and open the right page on their phone. Donors use the shared student link from a text or email — no searching for the school, no long code typed by hand.
Parents verify their email once and they are in; PagePledge uses a magic link instead of a password, so there is no account setup step to abandon.
What to look for in a readathon app.
Reading logs
The app should support reading-minute tracking, not just fundraising totals.
Teacher workflows
Teachers should manage classroom activity without getting full admin access.
Payment clarity
Schools should understand where money goes, what fees apply, and how donors receive receipts.
