Summer Reading Challenge
Even though our local libraries are currently closed, you can still access a wealth of resources on their online platform. The Reading Agency have launched their summer reading challenge for children aged 4 to 11. The challenge encourages primary aged children to continue to enjoy the benefits of reading for pleasure, whilst providing lots of fun and engagement.
