Summer Reading Challenge 2020 – Meet the Silly Squad!
The theme for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge is “Silly Squad” – a celebration of funny books, happiness and laughter. A whole host of virtual events with guest celebrities and authors will take place on the Summer Reading Challenge Facebook page on Friday 5 June to mark the launch of the digital Challenge http://www.facebook.com/SummerReadingChallengeUK
Then sign up for the Challenge at sillysquad.org.uk. The site is free to access and will feature video content, games, quizzes, and digital downloadable activities to incentivise and encourage children and their families to take part in the Challenge at home. It is a place for children to rate and review their books and work towards their reading goal.
Challenge starts on Friday 5 June 2020 and will run until September.
During lockdown people are looking at different things to do and learn, you may have exhausted your reading supply and are looking for new things to keep you occupied at this challenging time. There are lots of free online courses and informative podcasts available. Why not have a look and learn a new skill, or brush up on the ones you already have, from learning skills for everyday life such as online banking or shopping to learning another language or brushing up on your maths and English, there’s something for everyone.
