SUMMER READING CHALLENGE
This year's Summer Reading Challenge - developed by The Reading Agency and delivered in
partnership with public libraries, is about nature and the outdoors.
This
week we welcomed into school our local Islington librarian, Raksha Agheda, to
talk to our children about the SUMMER
READING CHALLENGE
and how to join in.
Raksha was helped with her presentation by two of our Junior librarians, Perez and Sorayah (Violet Class). She talked to the children about why and how to join in with the challenge.
Teachers will be sharing the fun video promoting the challenge with their
classes before the end of term.
To launch this year’s Summer Reading Challenge Islington libraries will
be holding a Family Fun Day on 5th July with free fun activities.
There are
two ways you can take part:
You can
join the Challenge at your local library. A librarian will give you a
special sticker booklet and help you choose from books, ebooks, or audiobooks.
You’ll collect stickers and other rewards along the way.
Alternatively,
take part in the Challenge online by going to Summer Reading
Challenge. Set a
reading goal and log your books on your profile. Reach your goal and unlock digital
badges and a certificate.
Please
note, the in-person and online Challenges are separate.
It's a super easy way to motivate
children aged 4-11 to have fun reading during the holidays. Children collect rewards for reading whatever they like and there'll be lots of free activities to enjoy
along the way.
Take part for free either at the library or online at summerreadingchallenge.org.uk
