Ready, Set, Read! Summer Reading Challenge 2023

Launches Saturday, 8 July in Sheffield Libraries

For this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, The Reading Agency have teamed up with the Youth Sport Trust and Sheffield Libraries to inspire children to discover the power of sport and play through reading. It launches 8 July 2023 in Sheffield Libraries.

It’s FREE to take part in The Summer Reading Challenge, just ask at your local library. Suitable for children from birth to 11 years of age, all children have to do is read or share six books of their choice over the summer holidays, collecting stickers for each book that they read along the way.

Visit Our libraries | Sheffield City Council to find out where your local library is.

All children who complete the challenge in libraries will receive a medal, certificate, and a limited-edition copy of the book of Rebel Girls Kick It: World Champions Take the Pitch-and You Can Too. The Summer Reading Challenge has teamed up with Nike and Rebel Girls to produce this new limited-edition book featuring stories and fun facts alongside original illustrations of Nike athletes, Q&As with coaches and activities to enhance football skills.

Children can also take part in the Summer Reading Challenge online by visiting summerreadingchallenge.org
