An exciting reading challenge, designed to improve literacy levels in primary school children across the country is coming to Devon in June.
The competition, called One Million Minutes, is run by award-winning education charity Achievement for All and challenges primary school classes in different regions across the UK to read for as many minutes as they can in just one week.
Plymouth children who sign up for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge on Saturday 11 July could also help to set a brand new Guinness World Record.
Organised by The Reading Agency in partnership with local libraries, the Summer Reading Challenge encourages four to 11-year-olds to read six or more library books or eBooks during the school summer holiday.
