The Winter Reading Mini Challenge is here...
During the school holidays, some children can experience a decline in reading. The Winter Mini Challenge plays a vital role in providing an outlet for children to continue reading for enjoyment outside the classroom.
The Winter Mini Challenge is run through The Reading Agency's digital platform and to complete the Challenge, children simply read three or more books of their own choice. Each time they finish a book, they add it to their Challenge website profile and leave a short book review.
The Winter Mini Challenge is now on and will run through until 16 January.
Start your mini-challenge here.
