Summer Reading Challenge

We are keen for all children to continue reading through the summer. The ‘Reading Agency’ charity has set up a ‘Summer Reading Challenge’. It is quick and easy to sign up, but your child will need your help…just head to their website: www.summerreadingchallenge.org.uk

Once there, you will need to create a profile under your own name, and then you will be able to add your child/ren’s names under your profile. 

It’s free to take part! You and your child can create a profile avatar and name and set an achievable reading target for the summer. Once you’ve done that, you can use the ‘Book Sorter’ tool on the website to find book recommendations based on your child’s interests and age. There are also games to play, polls to take part in and awards to win! You can source books from your local library; the three that are most accessible to addresses nearby to school are:

1. Lichfield Street Hub (Walsall Central Library and Archives) - Lichfield Street, Walsall, WS1 1TR. Telephone: 01922653121
