Summer Reading Challenges Return!

 

Summer Reading Challenges Return!

Hopefully, you have had the chance to sign up to the National Summer Reading Challenge at your local library. This year's theme is Marvellous Makers!

By now, you should have received our Broadford school library Summer Reading Challenge Tracker, which also includes information about this year's Get Caught Reading challenge. Take a look at the trackers below:

KS1 Summer Reading Challenge Sheets: 

KS2 Summer Reading Challenge Sheets:

Our trackers are bursting with ideas and ways of keeping you reading during your summer break away from school. There are extra tasks like creating a poster, advertising your favourite book, writing a new blurb for the last book you read, and creating a monster character - just to name a few! The challenge sheet also features a bucket list - how many will you tick off?

Make sure you hand your completed trackers into the school library when you return to school by Friday 6th September 2024 for a special certificate!

Get Caught Reading!

Like previous years, we would love to see you reading during the summer break, whether it be at home or far away. Pictures can be sent in via our Facebook and Instagram pages. A library Instagram page has been set up for you to view all photos so please head over there to give us a follow.

@broadfordlibrary

We will choose one winner and one runner-up from each Key Stage. These lucky ones will be rewarded with a prize. All entries need to be in by Friday 6th September. Winners will be announced on Friday 13th September 2024. 

Facebook Summer Questions

We will share a reading-themed question with you every Friday during the holidays over on our Facebook page. Simply leave your answers in the comments section and one person (with the correct answer) will be chosen at random to win a prize! The lucky winners will be announced on Mondays throughout the summer holidays. Prizes will be sent home on Friday 13th September 2024.

We think that's enough to keep you busy this summer! Make sure you enjoy the outdoors and make lots of memories with your families and friends!  

Why have a reading competition?

At Broadford Primary School, we believe in developing a culture where children are intrinsically motivated to read for pleasure. We believe in encouraging them to read both inside and beyond school. We believe that the most effective way to promote reading is to work in partnership with parents and families.
