To take part, children simply read three library books of their choice over the winter holidays, then rate and review them to receive a certificate. The Winter Mini Challenge website will have fun activities, quizzes and competitions, plus a virtual badge to unlock when you’ve completed your three books.
The challenge is aimed at children aged 4+ and The Winter Mini Challenge starts on Monday 2 December 2019 and finishes on Monday 13 January 2020. Younger children can join in the fun with Bear’s Reading Adventure, offering a colourful sticker book and 10 stickers to collect.
Grown-ups don’t miss out as there will be a challenge for them too. Adults and young people are asked to read six library books and record them in a special diary. They will have until 30 April to complete.
The whole family can have fun reading together and encouraging each other. This can be a great reading experience for children and you can become reading role-models. Ask at your local Slough library for details.
