We have been invited to join this years Summer Reading Challenge. Sign up for FREE at your local library!

What is the Summer Reading Challenge?

The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children to keep reading during the school summer holidays – and to enjoy reading anything they like! Children aged 4-11 are invited to set a reading goal and collect rewards for their reading. It’s completely FREE to take part.

It is an amazing way to boost children’s confidence – last year 72% of children taking part felt more confident reading.1

Why should my child sign up?

• They will be better prepared to return to school in the autumn.
• The Challenge supports the move into a new year group.
• Becoming more independent in their reading boosts children’s confidence and self-esteem.
• The library provides free access to books and fun family activities all through the summer.
• Library staff are on hand to offer support and book recommendations.

Your child will be part of a UK-wide programme developed by The Reading Agency and delivered in partnership with the public library network.

How can my child take part?

Visit your local library and sign up. Your child will:

• Register with the library and borrow and read any books, eBooks and audiobooks.
• Receive a Challenge poster and collect special stickers and rewards for reading.
• Win a medal and certificate if they read six (or more!) books during the holiday.
• Not a member of the library? You can ask at the library to get your child’s free library card.

When?

It will launch on 6 July and onward and closes on September 14th.
