This year’s Summer Reading Challenge is here!
This year’s challenge is Read to the Beat!, delivered by The Reading Agency in partnership with public libraries and powered by Universal Music Group UK. The theme inspires children to explore the connection between stories and songs, discovering how reading and music both ignite imagination and creativity.
Our library team have been visiting Southport schools to spread the word about this year’s theme and to challenge them to be the best performing school!!
What is the Summer Reading Challenge?
1 in 4 children cannot read well by the age of 11. This hugely limits their life choices and skills. We’re on a mission to change this.
The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children to keep reading during the summer holidays, ensuring they are ready for a great start to the new term in the autumn. Children set a reading goal and collect rewards for reading and visiting the library.
Children can sign up in the library or online and it’s FREE to take part.
