The Summer Reading Challenge takes place every year during the summer holidays and encourages children aged 4 – 11 to sign up to their local library and read six books of their choice. Children’s reading can ‘dip’ during the long summer holidays if they don’t have regular access to books and encouragement to read for pleasure but the Summer Reading Challenge helps get three-quarters of a million children into libraries each year to keep up their reading skills and confidence.

While it is definitely highly rewarding in the long run, parenting is definitely pretty exhausting, to say the least. More often than not, you’ll find parents complaining about being sleep deprived and tired, but that doesn’t just end there- sometimes, things can get overwhelming and parents even lose their motivation, positivity and joy in life, and that is something parenting should definitely not be.

Kids are active during the summer. Whether you are spending your time at the beach, poolside, at a lake or even just a park, there are so many things that can be used as learning experiences for kids.
