According to The Reading Agency from the United Kingdom:
1.     statistics from 2014 which show that one in five children in England cannot read well by the age of 11
2.     how reading for pleasure is more important for children’s cognitive development than their parents’ level of education and is a more powerful factor in life achievement than socio-economic background
3.     analysis from the Department for Education which suggests that if all pupils in England read for enjoyment every day or almost every day, the boost to Key Stage 2 performance would be the equivalent of a rise of eight percentage points in the proportion achieving a level 4b (from its current level of 67% to 75%)
4.     how adults with lower levels of literacy are more likely to experience poor health
Finding a way to encourage children to continue reading while not in school can make a big difference to their confidence and skills. ("Summer Reading Challenge: a national scheme supporting literacy", 2018)

It was started in 1999 and is run annually by The Reading Agency with the public library network (98% of UK libraries take part), featuring different themes per year. The aim is to get children to read six or more books from the library during the summer holidays. Everyone who signs up can keep track of the books they read and receive encouragement to keep reading throughout the holidays. It's free to join and every child who completes the Challenge receives a certificate. Many libraries offer other rewards such as medals and stickers. Materials are available in large print with supplementary information in Braille.]]> 2018-10-16 04:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cguan5/e8yvtky81wpy/wish/293157215 the WIKI page of the summer reading challenge cguan5 https://padlet.com/cguan5/e8yvtky81wpy/wish/293158974 2018-10-16 04:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cguan5/e8yvtky81wpy/wish/293158974 the 2015 summer reading challenges of Rochester cguan5 https://padlet.com/cguan5/e8yvtky81wpy/wish/293159108 2018-10-16 04:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cguan5/e8yvtky81wpy/wish/293159108 Follow the facebook page of the @SummerReadingChallengeUK cguan5 https://padlet.com/cguan5/e8yvtky81wpy/wish/293162599 2018-10-16 05:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cguan5/e8yvtky81wpy/wish/293162599 The New York Public Library Kicks Off Its Annual Summer Reading Challenge of 2018 cguan5 https://padlet.com/cguan5/e8yvtky81wpy/wish/293163373 2018-10-16 05:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cguan5/e8yvtky81wpy/wish/293163373
