Amal (Year 3) and Umaima (Year 2) have earned both a certificate and a medal for their outstanding achievement in the Summer Reading Challenge.

 

The Reading Agency Summer Reading Challenge:

Each year the Challenge motivates over 700,000 children of all abilities to read for enjoyment over the summer holidays.

Children can sign up for free at a participating library or take part online.

How it works:

  • Children sign up for free through their local library and receive a fun pack.
  • They set a reading goal and borrow books of their choice during the summer, collecting special stickers and incentives.
  • Library staff and volunteers help children to discover new books that suit their interests and reading level and run a programme of free themed activities in the library.
  • Children who meet their reading goal and complete the Challenge are presented with a certificate and/or a medal.
  • Alternatively, children take part online.
