Summer Reading Challenge: Story Garden

Funtastic Kids is getting involved in the Summer Reading Challenge once again this year!

The Reading Agency has announced this year’s exciting new theme: ‘Story Garden: Adventures in Nature and the Great Outdoors’. This challenge will inspire children to read new books, take part in fun activities and explore the connection between stories and nature. When signing up online, children can unlock special online badges and earn a certificate when they reach their challenge goal! Or if they take part in person at their local library, they will receive a sticker poster and other special incentives!

At Funtastic Kids, we believe in the benefits of reading for pleasure. It not only supports children’s language skills but also expands their imaginations. All our Summer Holiday Camp locations will have a variety of books for children to enjoy! We will encourage kids to read independently and to each other which will count towards the challenge. Our staff also love to lead story time during quieter moments in the day!

To take part in the challenge, children can sign up at their local library or online: https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk

We’re also thrilled to announce that local librarians will visit selected holiday camps to share their passion for books and promote the challenge!
