UK Reading Challenge
As a contribution to the success of the reading challenge 2008 that took place in winter, ‘Team Read’ will continue this summer. Successful challengers will receive prizes on books they have read, in addition to a certificate and a medal.
For winter 2009, the Reading Challenge is called ‘Quest Seekers’. The theme is all about the power of the imagination. It will take young readers into a mysterious and wondrous land where they can discover the joy of reading and nurture a life-long love affair with books. It's an amazing fantasy reading adventure with a firebird, a giant and a fire-breathing dragon. Check the official website for this international Reading Challenge
