Reading can take children anywhere – they can travel through time, visit new worlds and live a thousand lives – this summer and forever. It’s a superpower that lasts for life and that's why we're encouraging your child to join our growing squad of reading heroes by taking our exclusive Summer of Reading challenge. There are a host of fantastic prizes up for grabs, including a book bundle worth over £400.
We’ve also compiled some of the the best activities from our previous issues below for you to enjoy at home and to help keep curious young minds exploring, learning and creating.
