Big Summer Read

A message from Australian Children’s Laureate and author Sally Rippin:

Did you know? On average, children can lose 2-3 months of reading skills if they don’t continue reading over the summer. This loss of reading skills is what research calls the ‘summer slide’.

However, children who continue reading books during summer benefit significantly, and public libraries are a huge help with this.

Running from December 1st to January 31st, the BIG Summer Read is helping promote a love of reading across Australia, even during the summer holiday break.

Head to your local library to find out more and join the challenge!
