Marvellous Makers Summer Reading Challenge 2024
The Summer Reading Challenge is back! To ensure children continue their reading journey over the summer holidays, The Reading Agency has designed this amazing Challenge. Created in partnership with the charity Create, and delivered by libraries, the theme this year is 'Marvellous Makers'. A celebration of the Creative Arts, children will be inspired to express themselves in creative ways, tap into a world of imagination and storytelling and of course to read!
All children aged 4 to 11 can now sign up for the challenge at their local Surrey library for free. The aim of the challenge is to keep children reading over the summer holidays when there can sometimes be a 'reading dip'. Children can set their own goals, but to complete the challenge they will need to read 6 books before Saturday 14 September.
Younger children can join in with the Mini Challenge, aimed at anyone 3 years and younger. Children will need to be a member of the library to participate, but joining the library is free and can be done at their local Surrey library.
There are lots of reading formats to keep children interested. Fact books, stories, poetry, graphic novels, ebooks, joke books and audiobooks, it is all reading! When they have finished their books, children can tell library staff and volunteers what they've been reading and receive rewards for how far they have come. Children who manage to read 6 books will receive a certificate and a medal.
The Challenge is suitable for all reading abilities, so head along to your local Surrey library from Saturday 6 July to start your summer reading journey!
If you are not a member of Surrey libraries you can join the library, it is free to join.
The Summer Reading Challenge will be launched in all our Surrey Libraries on Saturday 6 July and end on Saturday 14 September.
