The 2024 Summer Reading Challenge: A free & Fun Kids’ Activity


Introducing “Marvellous Makers”, this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, a free annual activity for children aged 4-11 in the UK!

Created by The Reading Agency, the Summer Reading Challenge encourages children aged 4-11 to read six library books (including eBooks and digital) during the summer holiday, often a time when children’s reading dips.

It’s a great way to encourage your child read over the summer break, plus it’s fun and free.

Just visit your local library and pick up your FREE Marvellous Makers pack; you can collect stickers and receive a brilliant medal and certificate at the end!

You can take part in libraries AND online. If you prefer to join digitally – head to the Summer Reading Challenge website and join today.
