Summer Reading Challenge | Activities

The Summer Reading Challenge 2024 is a FREE holiday activity for children.

It’s all about reading for fun, aiming to improve children’s reading skills and confidence. All children aged 4-11 are welcome to take part and simply asked to read 6 books of choice over the school holidays. They’ll also collect free rewards for their reading along the way.

Plus, any child who enters can swim for just £1 at any Active Luton pool* by showing their library card at reception.

Pop in to your local library or visit summerreadingchallenge.org.uk to sign up.
