Reading Challenge
Reading Challenge
Each term we encourage the children to take part in a new reading challenge, exposing them to different genres of books which are appropriate for their age. These books can be read independently, or shared with an adult at home depending on your child’s reading ability.
For those who take part in the reading challenge every term throughout the year, there will be a special celebration to reward them for their hard work and engagement in the challenge. We have purchased one copy of each book which can be shared between the class, however, please feel free to obtain your own copies from a library if you don’t want to wait until they are available. Marwell Class will be able to begin taking part in the reading challenge during the Summer Term.
Bronze - 4 books
Silver - 5 books
Gold - 6 books
