Children's reading can 'dip' during the summer holidays. The Reading Agency's Summer Reading Challenge is aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 11, to help get children into libraries to keep working on their reading skills, by reading six books during the long holiday.
There is a different theme each year, but children can choose to read what ever they like, fiction books, non-fiction, joke books, picture books or audio books, as long as they are borrowed from the library. The challenge is open to all children, no matter what their reading ability. They can earn stickers and a certificate when they have completed the challenge.
This year, children can explore The Creepy House theme through books borrowed from their local libraries. It is hoped that this year's theme will be a great adventure for children without being too scary, and that the theme will appeal to a wide age range and to both genders.
The Creepy House theme has been illustrated by Chris Riddell, an award winning illustrator, it looks set to be an exciting summer.
