The Summer Reading Challenge is back with 'Ready, Set, Read!' for the summer holidays!
Each year, the Summer Reading Challenge motivates children to read more books over the summer holidays, helping to build their skills and confidence while they are away from school. This year The Reading Agency is partnering with the Youth Sport Trust for 'Ready, Set Read!' a challenge that is al about teamwork and games that will inspire fun and encourage children to take part.
Launching at Dudley Libraries on Saturday 8th July, children will help the reading challenge team of superstar sport and games fans and their mascots to help them find the golden books hidden along an obstacle course.
They'll weave their way through the obstacles to read six books borrowed from their local library, and for every two books they read the location of a golden book will be revealed. Each book read comes with a golden book sticker to stick to the scoreboard, and when children have read all 6 books they'll complete the scoreboard and receive a medal, certificate and a DVD loan voucher.
Children can read whatever they like in their chosen format - fiction, fact books, poetry, joke books, picture books, graphic novels, audiobooks and eBooks can all be used to complete the Challenge.
The Summer Reading Challenge is open to all primary school aged children and is designed for all reading abilities. Simply sign your child up for free at your library during the summer holidays.
Prizes
If you complete the prize and read 6 books over the summer holidays you will receive a medal, certificate and a DVD loan voucher.
Stay tuned to hear about the winners' prize draw that children completing the challenge will be entered into too!
Mini Challenge
Do you have a child aged under 4 years old who would also like to take part? They can complete the Mini Summer Reading Challenge!
The mini challenge is the perfect way to encourage pre-schoolers to get excited about reading. Sign up for the challenge and they will receive their own mini scorecard.
For every book that they read over the summer holidays (up to 6) they will receive a sticker to stick in one of the circles on their scorecard. When they read all 6 books they will win a bookmark!
