THE BIG FRIENDLY READ ……

What is the Summer Reading Challenge?

·         Every year, thousands of families all over the country take part in the UK’s biggest reading event for children in libraries, the Summer Reading Challenge, run by the charity The Reading Agency.

·         The aim of the challenge is to get children to read any six books of their choice from their library during the summer holidays.

·         Every year there’s a different theme; this year it’s The Big Friendly Read, as we link up with the global year-long Roald Dahl 100 celebrations, honouring the world’s No.1 Storyteller.

Enrolling your child

·         The Summer Reading Challenge is aimed at children aged four to eleven. It is run in almost all libraries in the UK and it is completely free.

·         Go to your local library during the summer holidays – the sooner you go the longer your child will have to read six books. Staff will enrol your child and give them some fun materials to get them started on the Challenge.

·         You can go to any UK library running the Summer Reading Challenge and you don’t have to keep going to the same library. So if you are on holiday in the UK your child should still be able to
keep up with the Challenge.
