It’s time to Read to the Beat! Put on those cool shades, grab something that makes a noise (perhaps not a tiger or the baby!) and celebrate the joy of music and the power it has to move, inspire and connect us – all through the magic of reading.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Join the Challenge at the library and you’ll get a special ‘Read to the Beat’ collector’s folder and then stickers and other special goodies along the way (while stocks last). Then, read six books of your choice and visit the library three times during the summer break.
To help you, we have a fantastic range of exciting new books in our junior library for you to borrow and enjoy and some awesome summer fun and games for you to join in.
Complete the Challenge and you’ll be awarded a medal and a very posh certificate to mark your achievement. You could make it even more memorable by having your certificate presented in assembly at your school with your friends and classmates!
HOW DO I JOIN IN?
If you’re aged between 4 and 11 years you can sign-up for Read to the Beat at Easingwold Community Library.
You’ll need to be a library member to take part. Joining the library is quick, easy and free.
ENDING SOON! FEEL THE FORCE
‘Read to the Beat’ closes on Saturday 12th September. Is the reading Force strong in you? Busy must you get!
With just days to go now until the end of this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, it’s time to finish reading your six books and get yourself down to the library to collect your rewards and your finisher’s medal.
INFORMATION FOR PARENTS & GUARDIANS
The Summer Reading Challenge runs until 12th September. Presented by The Reading Agency, it encourages children aged from 4 to 11 years to read for pleasure during the long summer break; vital in maintaining their hard-won reading skills over the summer holidays. Each year over 700,000 children in the UK take part, enjoying over four million books. If your child takes on the Challenge – and we really do hope that they do with your encouragement and interest – it will stand them in very good stead when they return to school in September.
