British Council – in association with the Reading Agency, UK – has brought the Reading Challenge to India.
Celebrating ‘50 years of humans landing on the moon’ as this year’s theme of Space Chase, this global challenge is based on the principle of encouragement and motivation and inspires children to read for pleasure, thus improving their English, developing their reading skills, and building their confidence.
The six-week challenge, open to children from the age of 5 to 11 years, will commence from 1st October. The Reading Challenge in Hyderabad will encourage the participating children to read 6 or more books of their choice over the competition period of 6 weeks. The British Council will organise multiple workshops for participants to help them improve reading speed and acquire storytelling and creative writing skills.
The Reading Challenge will culminate in a mega award ceremony at the British Council Hyderabad, where winners from each age group will be felicitated and awarded certificates. British Council Library members and non-members can enrol for the Reading Challenge.
Reading challenge workshops will be held on weekends in the month of October
