Summer Reading Challenge
There is still time to sign up for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, where children can earn rewards for keeping their minds active.
Visit your local library and ask a member of staff for more information on this year’s challenge, which is themed around the power of play, sport, games and physical activity.
Children can navigate a fictional obstacle course and track their reading as they go, rewarded by free incentives, including stickers and a certificate when they have read six books.
As well as getting inspiration from the Summer Reading Challenge Book Collection, children can download e-books and e-audiobooks from the Libby app, which also count towards overall progress.
You can register by visiting your nearest library, or by signing up online.
Children who complete the Summer Reading Challenge will have the opportunity to win a free swimming session. Dates and times of these sessions will be sent to parents during the Autumn term.
