Circus Stars, the national Summer Reading Challenge for children, is running in most UK public libraries throughout the summer holidays, with incentives, activities and events designed to create a real buzz around children's reading. The challenge is simple - to read six or more library books over the summer.
How it works
- Children sign up for the Challenge at their local library where they receive their free starter pack.
- The Challenge invites children to read six library books of their choice throughout the holidays.
- Children collect rewards and receive incentives along the way to encourage them to complete the challenge.
The Circus Stars website is packed with games and activities to keep children engaged and motivated to keep reading, http://www.summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/, and there are linked activities to encourage families into libraries throughout the summer.
Incoming Year 7 pupils have also been challenged to read over the summer, and can produce their Circus Stars record or their OLA Summer Reading Challenge to gain their a commendation in September. All summer reading will count towards the OLA Reading Olympics - just remember to keep a list of what you read.
