Autumn Reading Challenge

                                               

One of the best ways to improve your reading is to read more!! Over the next few weeks we challenge you to read every day. There are so many ways to read. You can pick up a book, go for a walk and look at signs and posters on your way, turn on the computer and read the news headlines, visit the library or you could look at a cartoon in a magazine! 

Your challenge is:

1) To tell us one amazing fact you have learnt

2) To describe your favourite character

3) To tell us a wild place that you have read - you could take a photo for us to see

Have fun reading!!!

Autumn Home Challenges
