What is the Summer Reading Challenge?
Produced by The Reading Agency and run in partnership with libraries across the country the Summer Reading Challenge is a great way to keep children reading over the summer. Taking part can help avoid the potential dip in reading levels over the long summer break and provides free fun for 4 – 11 year olds.
This year's challenge invites children to join the Gadgeteers - six young innovators who, using creative thinking and teamwork, plan a party for their town's summer celebration.
Developed in partnership with the Science Museum Group, Gadgeteers will celebrate – science, creative thinking and teamwork.
The challenge runs in Inspire libraries from 9 July until 4 September.
