Encourage your child to read during the long summer holiday
This year's Big Friendly Read Summer Reading Challenge which will run across the school summer holidays, is linking up with the global year-long Roald Dahl 100 celebrations, honouring the world's No.1 storyteller. The theme this year will be The Big Friendly Read.
The Big Friendly Read will feature some of Roald Dahl's best-loved characters and the amazing artwork of his principal illustrator, Sir Quentin Blake. It will encourage reading on a giant scale and will feature themes such as invention, mischief and friendship as explored in Roald Dahl's books.
Children can sign up for the Big Friendly Read Summer Reading Challenge (the Tesco Bank Summer Reading Challenge in Scotland) at their local library as the school summer term ends and the holidays begin. There's no charge to participate so why not pop down to your library?
