The British Council is set to host a reading challenge for kids

The programme will help the participating kids to read six books in six weeks

Embark on a literary adventure with The British Council’s ‘Ultimate Reading Challenge for Children’. This six-week programme, tailored for kids between the age group of 5 and 12, revolves around the theme ‘Ready, Set, Read’, designed to spark imagination and foster a passion for books. Kids will delve into six curated titles, one per week, all centred on the exciting world of sports and games, including Rampaging Rugby and All to Play For. Also, illustrator Loretta Schauer will bring a fictional summer obstacle course to life. Additionally, children can participate in interactive workshops aimed at enhancing their writing skills and vocabulary development. These workshops will cover writing book reviews and structuring story elements, ultimately improving the overall reading experience.

Registration for this programme is open till November 4.
