Kent's libraries are running a fantastic
Summer Reading Challenge that will have all 4 to 12 year olds
racing down to their local libraries to win bronze, silver and
gold awards.
 The Team Read challenge aims to encourage
children to have fun with books and feel rewarded for
reading.
It is easy to take part; all you have to do is:
- join your local library and collect a fun filled poster
- read six books of your choice and collect special Olympic
stickers
- read and review all six books and win a limited edition
medal
Children will be rewarded with prizes as they progress through
their lists of books. These include:
- read two books and receive a bronze sticker and a limited
edition find Your Sport bookmark
- read four books and receive a silver sticker and either a Find
Your Sport yo-yo or Frisbee, sponsored by P&O Ferries
- read six books and you will receive a medal and be entered into
a prize draw with the chance of winning one of five family trips to
Disneyland Resort Paris provided by P&O Ferries and
OctopusTravel
It isn't just about getting children reading though. It is also
about helping them to find out more about books, find books that
interest them, and spend time reading with their family.

Many of the county's libraries will be holding special Team Read
events where younger readers can talk about books and meet authors.
They will also provide information on sports clubs and events.
The Team Read challenge will be running until 31 August so on
your marks, get set, go and read. |
