About the Summer Reading Challenge
The Summer Reading Challenge is produced by The Reading Agency and runs in libraries all over the country.
The challenge, aimed at children aged 4 to 11 year, is to read six or more library books over the summer.
2019 is the 20th year of the Summer Reading Challenge.
Children who take part:
- are more enthusiastic about reading
- maintain their reading level over the holidays
- return to schools keen and ready to learn
- boost their confidence and self-esteem.
