Let me put some effort into it: (attached anew script, prev. was had extra 
'sleep 100' which was supposed to be commented out)

To break from the builtin 'read', I have to use C-c twice: the first time I 
restore SIGINT trap so that the second C-c can actually make 'read' break/exit

$ ./sigintread.bash 
Press C-c here...^Cinterrupted sees exit code '0'
^C

Maybe I should paste it rather than attach it, here:

#!/bin/bash

#C-c won't break the builtin read unless default SIGINT trap is restored, thus 
needing two C-c to exit

interrupted() {
    local ec="$?"
    trap - SIGINT  #this restores prev. behaviour, so now another C-c will stop 
'read -rp'
    echo "interrupted sees exit code '$ec'"
    #  exit "$ec"  #this is needed ONLY for when 'sleep' is used and 
interrupted, or else it will continue running and hit 'Normal exit', if used 
with 'read' then it will exit without breaking 'read' thus exit code is 0 
instead of 130 (128+2 aka SIGINT==2)
}

trap interrupted SIGINT
builtin read -rp "Press C-c here..."  #can use 'sleep 100' instead of this 
'read...' here, for testing how the behaviour is different with an external 
command instead of a builtin one.
#sleep 100
#ping 127.0.0.1  #ping will ec=0 on C-c
ec="$?"
echo
echo "Normal exit sees ec=$ec"
exit "$ec"

sigintread.bash
