Summer Reading Challenge

Back to Teachers

The Summer Reading Challenge runs throughout the summer holidays in every library. Children are encouraged and rewarded for reading as many books as possible.
Research shows that this improves childrens confidence and sends them back to school fired up and ready to learn. The Challenge is now the UKs biggest promotion of childrens reading and attracts major partners like the BBC.

Last year, Team Read, attracted 10,698 children from Bedfordshire and Luton, they read 96,310 books and raised 6000 for charity!
This year the theme is Fantasy.  If you want your school to be involved please contact your local Bedfordshire Library to arrange an assembly visit where library staff can tell them all about it!
