What is the Challenge?The First Minister’s Reading Challenge is a chance for you to go on a reading journey, read whatever interests you, discover new books along the way and tell us all about it.

Where will your journey take you?

Your Reading Passport• You will all receive your very own Reading

Passport.• This is for you to record books or any

reading materials you have read.• You can rate a book by colouring in the

stars. You can also add notes about what you liked and didn’t like about the book to help you choose your next one.

• There is room in the Passport for you to note down recommendations from your friends.

How many books can you read?• There will be an award for the pupil

who reads the most books throughout the year

• Your teacher can nominate the person in your class who they think has made a real effort with their reading… It could be you!

• There is also a prize for the school who manages to read the most!

Pupil Reading Journey• You can enter the Reading Challenge by

sending us a creative piece of work to tell us about a reading journey you’ve been on.

• You can do this by yourself, with a friend, as part of a group or even as a whole class!

You could create a book trailer about a book which took you on a journey. Tell us about why you chose it… Check out JANIS MACKAY’S “THE ACCIDENTAL TIME TRAVELLER” from East Kilbride Library:
