It’s quiet in our house at present. Kingsley is taking the commitment to the reading challenges very seriously. The first one, which has been going since April and finishes at the end of August, is the Premier’s Reading Challenge. The children have “challenge” books from a set list for their age group and can supplement that with personal “choice” books. The aim is to read 30 in total with 20 from the set list.
The second one officially started on June 1 and finishes on the 30th of the month. The MS Readathon has been going for years with the joint aim of encouraging children to read whilst raising valuable funds for research into multiple sclerosis. For the remainder of June, Kingsley will be beavering through a bookshelf full of books and soliciting donations from family and close friends.
At today’s date over 60 books have been read for the first challenge and it looks like my wallet will take a big hit on the per book sponsorship for the second. All for a worthy cause.
