The Summer Reading Challenge 2025
In order to support literacy in school we wish to encourage all children to join in with the Summer Reading Challenge. This is a UK-wide programme developed by The Reading Agency and delivered in partnership with the public library network.
The Challenge is a fun, free way for children aged 4-11 to stay motivated to read during the summer holidays.
There are two ways you can take part:
You can join the Challenge at your local library. A librarian will give you a special sticker booklet and help you choose from books, ebooks, or audiobooks. You’ll collect stickers and other rewards along the way.
Alternatively, take part in the Challenge online by going to Summer Reading Challenge. Set a reading goal and log your books on your profile. Reach your goal and unlock digital badges and a certificate.
Please note, the in-person and online Challenges are separate.
We have invited Islington librarians to come into school to talk to the children about joining the Summer Reading Challenge and they will also be at our Summer Fair on Friday 11th July.
To launch this year’s Summer Reading Challenge Islington libraries will be holding a Family Fun Day on 5th July with free fun activities.
If you have any questions, please contact me at office@st-josephs.islington.org.uk.
