Children can get creative with this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, Marvellous Makers!The Summer Reading Challenge is a free holiday activity for children. It’s all about reading for fun, aiming to improve children’s reading skills and confidence. The Challenge runs every year throughout the summer holidays, and all children aged 4-11 are welcome to take part!
Children can read anything they like (really – anything!) and collect free rewards for their reading. Just pop in to your local library to sign up.
This year’s Challenge is all about creativity. From dance to drawing, junk modelling to music, there’s something for everyone! Children will be able to find new reads linked to their favourite creative arts, and access free activities at the library. We can’t wait to get creative! The Summer Reading Challenge is developed by The Reading Agency and delivered in partnership with public libraries. This year’s theme has been developed in partnership with Create, a leading charity bringing the creative arts to those who need it most. The bespoke illustrations for Marvellous Makers are created by the brilliant illustrator, Natelle Quek.
The Challenge starts on Saturday, 6 July.
Each child will receive a Marvellous Makers folder at their local library with stickers to collect; bookmark; door hanger, and if 6 books are read; a Marvellous Makers Certificate and Medal (all subject to availability). You can register free at any library within the Bradford district.
