A reading sprint is designed to help people to read more in a shorter amount of time. People will ask if there is anyone to sprint. Once you have someone else to sprint with, some one sets a time and a length in a format such as :25 for 25. Some people like to do longer lengths... while others like to stay in the shorter lengths (such as 20 and below.) Then you come back to the forum and say how many pages you've read. Sometimes people may want to discuss what book they're reading, it's all up to you.

[Sowmya]

thanks! Sounds fun! Sure :)

[Joi]

Maddie, I'll sprint with you.

[Maddie]

[Maddie]

@Sowmya ~
A reading Sprint is when two or more people want to read for a specific amount of time (since it is a "sprint" it should just be for maybe 10-30 minutes to just read, but I'm pretty sure a few people did an hour once before) and read for that time. Once you are done, you come back and post how many pages you read and you can discuss how you are liking/disliking your book.
Example:
Let's say I want to sprint at :35 for 10. Since there are different time zones we prefer this method. I am in EST time so :35 for 10 would mean 10:35 for 10 minutes.

I hope that helped :)

[Maddie]

I'll join in for the next sprint. :D Getting through my book so that's good. :D And I'll be up late tonight so I might actually finish it!
