Gadgeteers
Summer Reading Challenge
Join the Gadgeteers for the Summer Reading Challenge to discover the amazing science and innovation behind the world around you, including some of your favourite things!
The Summer Reading Challenge takes place over the summer holidays throughout the UK.
For 2022, The Reading Agency is partnering with the Science Muesum to create 'Gadgeteers', a Challenge that's all about science and innovation!!
The aim of the challenge is to get children aged between 4 and 11 years old to read 6 books over the summer holidays, on completion children will receive a medal and certificate, a free family swim voucher and gain entry into a prize draw.
There are two ways to take part in the challenge this year:
Visit your local library, register for the challenge and choose your 6 books from the wide selection available.
Register online at summerreadingchallenge.org.uk for the digital challenge. Read a minimum of 6 books, these can either be books you have at home or e-books and e-audio books borrowed from BorrowBox.
Why do the Reading Challenge?
We know that reading for pleasure is important for children’s development. Taking part in the annual Summer Reading Challenge will keep them reading throughout the school summer holidays and help to prevent the summer reading ‘dip’ during the long break from school.
