Why does summer reading matter? 🤷‍♀️

Because just a few weeks without reading can make a big difference, and a little reading over summer can make a big difference too! The Summer Reading Challenge 2026: Read to the Beat helps children aged 4–11 keep their reading skills strong while still feeling like fun 🎵☀️

It supports children to:
✨ Stay confident and engaged with reading over the holidays
✨ Keep vocabulary and comprehension ticking over
✨ Return to school in September ready to learn

Whether you’re a parent planning summer activities or a teacher supporting reading beyond the classroom, the Summer Reading Challenge is an easy, proven way to keep children connected to books all summer long 📖
