The 2018 Little Helmet Reading Challenge
A skilled reader can do anything. When you read you learn to understand different kinds of texts and to find words for your own stories. You will understand different emotions, other people, and history, and learn to know different times and places.
It is never too late to develop your reading skills. You will grow to be a great reader if you keep on practicing. Choose the right books for you and tell your friends about them. Talking about books is fun!
Ready, steady, read!
What kind of goals will you set for yourself? Choose how to do the challenge yourself or set rules together with your class. Challenge another class or the whole school to take the challenge too, or why not even the parents of your class?
Reading challenge for young readers starts for the third time
The Helmet Reading Challenge for Young Readers changed its name for this year and is now called The Little Helmet Reading Challenge. To the reading list we have chosen subjects from the main Helmet Reading Challenge that can be easily completed with children’s books and youth books. The Little Helmet Reading Challenge also fits adults who want a slightly lighter reading challenge.
