Child literacy goes to the Circus!

This summer sees Suffolk Libraries take part in a literacy problem for the under-elevens, the brainchild of the Reading Agency.

Children are encouraged to sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge at Stowmarket Library during the school holidays – it’s FREE – and they will get a stage set and stickers to start them off. As they read their way through six books, they help the Circus Stars progress through Practice and Rehearsal to their ultimate goal – Showtime!

The fun doesn’t stop at the library though! They can create their own avatar and join the Stars on a journey through games and activities. They can keep track of the books they are reading, send messages to other Circus Stars, and even meet some famous authors.

For more information, go to the Suffolk Libraries website or to the Reading Agency's website. The programme kicks off on Saturday (July 23rd), just in time for the school holidays.
