For each week of the Summer Holiday, we will challenge you to find a text that you think is a brilliant example of a quality we are looking for. We will also set you a Staycation Reading Challenge each week. This could be a task to complete or something to design to help improve reading experiences for yourself and other people.
We will also share with you a short text or extract…just for you to enjoy!
Read the last page/chapter of a book before the beginning.
How does this change your mind about reading?
Be the teacher:
Record a video to introduce your book and what you learnt from it.
Or, take a picture of you with your book and write a short passage to explain what you have learnt.
Share photos of your Reading Challenge here!
