Summer Reading Challenge 2023

What is the Summer Reading Challenge?

The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children to keep reading during the school summer holidays – and to enjoy anything they like to read! Children aged 4-11 are invited to set a reading goal, and collect rewards for their reading.

It’s FREE to take part, and last year 75% of children taking part improved their reading skills over the holidays.

Why should my child sign up?

· They will be better prepared to return to Sussex Road in the autumn.

- The challenge supports the move into a new year group.

· Becoming more independent in their reading boosts children’s confidence and self-esteem.

· The library provides free access to books and fun family activities all through the summer.

· Library staff are on hand to offer support and book recommendations.
