 A Seriously Silly Summer!
This year, the Summer Reading Challenge is taking on a new and exciting format. Instead of registering at your local library, you can register online from absolutely anywhere. Using the power of silly, we will help kids stay kids and embrace the fun just when we need it most.The Reading Agency have created their online Silly Squad to entertain and engage children with uplifting content and reading recommendations.This summer we’re going to get silly! The Summer Reading Challenge 2020 will feed the imaginations of children and create a greater sense of togetherness through the joy of reading.
Sign up for the Silly Squad from Friday 5th June 2020
For 2020 we are delighted to present the ‘Silly Squad’ – a hilarious cast of characters ready to bring the UK a seriously silly summer.
Children sign up to the Silly Squad and create their own profile from Friday 5th June onwards.
● They set their own challenge to read any amount of books, with children being encouraged to read anything that makes them happy.
● Each time they finish a book, they add it to their profile and write a review. They are rewarded with activities and incentives along the way, such as online badges, games and videos.
● Families are encouraged to join in and ‘Get Silly’ with downloadable activities, games, quizzes and more. With new content to enjoy each week, the fun will continue throughout the summer to keep families engaged.
● They receive a downloadable certificate once they’ve completed their challenge!
