Marvellous Makers - Summer Reading Challenge 2024

The Summer Reading Challenge runs from Saturday 6 July to Saturday 7 September 2024 and is free to join.

This year's Challenge is all about creativity. We can't wait to get creative! 

Taking part

The Summer Reading Challenge takes place every year during the summer holidays and all children aged 4 to 11 are welcome to take part. It's all about reading for fun, aiming to improve children's reading skills and confidence.

Children can read anything they like (really - anything!) and collect free rewards for their reading. Just pop into your local library from Saturday 6 July 2024, or visit the Summer Reading Challenge website to sign up.

About the scheme

The Summer Reading Challenge is developed by The Reading Agency and delivered in partnership with public libraries.

This year's theme has been developed in partnership with Create, a leading charity bringing the creative arts to those who need it most. The bespoke illustrations for Marvellous Makers are created by the brilliant illustrator Natelle Quek.
