School Zone

You can make a huge difference this year by encouraging your pupils to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge over the holidays. It's the UK's biggest reading for pleasure programme for primary school children in libraries - in 2023 we reached close to 700,000 children.

It's free to take part and all children are welcome.

Helping more children take part

It costs £1 for The Reading Agency to provide the Summer Reading and Winter Mini Challenge free of charge to each child.

If your pupils enjoy taking part in the Reading Challenges, then please help us bring the joy of reading and the fun of the Challenge to even more children. Please donate £3 to help us reach another three children or whatever you feel you can to help share the power and fun of reading.

If you would like to make a larger gift, legacy pledge or can support our fundraising in any way, please email Rebecca Kendall.

The Reading Agency receives 100% of your donation. Obtain bill payer’s permission. Customer care 08448479800. Charity No 108544
