Milton Keynes Reading Challenge

Young readers of all ages in Milton Keynes can join the MK Reading Adventure this summer and escape with a book ... because reading is the first step to everywhere.

The last year has been a strange and difficult one for everyone. Not only have schools and libraries been impacted by the Covid-19 disruption, but the reading skills and confidence of many young readers have also been affected. To boost reading and avoid that summer ‘dip’ in reading skills, we bring you the MK Reading Adventure and encourage reading just for the fun of it!

Children and young people are invited to sign up and take part between 1 July and 24 September and read six books to complete the challenge.

Register for the challenge at any MK Library or complete the whole challenge online and download resources.

Readers can choose books from a physical library or choose to read eBooks and eAudiobooks with the Libby app.

Young readers are given (or can print at home) a bookmark to keep track of their books and rate them as they read or listen to each one.

When the bookmark has six titles on it, present it at one of the libraries to receive a certificate. If you're doing the challenge online, you can email a photo of the bookmark to us and you'll be emailed the link to print a certificate at home.

Why stop there? You can read more than six books and do the challenge as many times as you'd like!
