This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Principal Libraries Outreach Officer for Children and Young People, Alison Beer, for the attention of primary schools.
Slough Libraries are delighted to announce that the theme for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge is Wild World Heroes - a celebration of nature that will inspire children to take care of their environment. The challenge is a national programme delivered in partnership with the Reading Agency. It launches in Slough on 3rd July.
The Summer Reading Challenge:
- Motivates and rewards children to keep reading through the summer holidays
- Boosts confidence and helps avoid the post-holiday ‘dip’ in reading levels
- Supports and encourages children to select their own books and discover new favourite reads
- Gives the opportunity for children to express their views
- Completers receive a medal and certificate which gives children a sense of pride in their achievements
A range of support is available from Slough Libraries to help make the challenge a success in your school. This includes promotional materials, newsletter articles and assemblies.

We’re also hosting an exciting Summer Reading Challenge Competition inspiring children to share their ideas for saving the planet.
