The Summer Reading Challenge
This is an annual programme that encourages children to keep reading during the summer holidays, ensuring they are ready for a great start to the new term in the autumn.
The annual Summer Reading Challenge is open to pre-school and primary school aged children and is for all reading abilities. It is free to take part.
