Mischief Makers - Summer Reading Challenge in Kent Libraries
9 July 2018
Children aged 4-11 are invited to join the Summer Reading Challenge in all Kent’s libraries, from 14 July to 15 September.
The theme for the Summer Reading Challenge 2018 is Mischief Makers; celebrating the 80th anniversary of the much loved comic, Beano.
Children taking part in the Challenge will follow clues to explore their colourful collector’s map of Beanotown; meeting Dennis, Gnasher and friends along the way. As children read library books, they will collect special stickers to help them find the mysterious buried treasure.
To take part in the Challenge, all children need to do is sign up at their nearest library. When they have completed the Challenge by reading 6 books they will receive a medal and a certificate. It’s all free!
There’s a Mischief Makers website to add to the fun too.
Mischief Makers will celebrate adventure, friendship, reading and fun.
Last year over 18,000 children took part in Animal Agents.
“This was great for both my daughters. My 8 year old discovered new authors as a result and my 5 year old has moved up 2 reading levels due to her summer reading”. (Feedback from a parent in 2017)
Lauren Child, Waterstones Children’s Laureate, says: “The Summer Reading Challenge is about reading for the pleasure of reading.”
The Summer Reading Challenge is produced by The Reading Agency and delivered by libraries.
