Six Book Challenge 2012 Materials Available

“When I got my certificate I was over the moon. I really want to encourage more people to do the Six Book Challenge and to learn how to read and write.” Keith Orrell, Challenge completer, Bolton College

“The Six Book Challenge provices a uniquely accessible and enjoyable way to stimulate interest and improve literacy. We’re delighted to be involved.” Marie Gilluley, Principal, Bolton College

The Reading Agency’s Six Book Challenge invites adult literacy learners and less confident readers to read six books such as the Quick Reads and to record their reading in a diary in order to receive incentives, a certificate and the chance to enter a national prize draw. The scheme grew again this year with 10,000 people taking part in libraries, prisons, workplaces and colleges.

The Six Book Challenge is a great way to start reading groups with adult literacy learners. Check out our features on the Quick Reads Book Group in Watford and the benefits of running a reading group for adult learners.

Six Book Challenge 2012 materials are now available to order through the shop and you can take advantage of a special Early Bird offer!

Please do contact us if you have any queries or would like to know more about the Six Book Challenge.
