Set sail at Cornwall Library
The Reading Voyage
Local children are being offered a wonderful package of reading inspiration and support through Cornwall Library’s summer holiday reading challenge. This year’s theme is The Reading Voyage and 600,000 children in the UK are expected to get on board.
The challenge is a powerful national reading promotion, run by the public library network all over the UK. Research shows that taking part in the challenge boosts children’s reading confidence and enjoyment. Parents who want to keep their children reading during the long break from school should help them join The Reading Voyage.
The challenge offers children inspiration and incentives to read at least six books over the summer. On joining they get a lovely Voyage log, which folds out into a reading fantasy galleon. They use this to record the books they choose to read, and log their opinions on the way. When they choose and return books, they can talk to expert library staff, and collect stickers to help complete the galleon’s puzzles. On finishing, they get a certificate celebrating their achievement.
