Summer reading is highly beneficial to children as it allows them to retain all of the knowledge that they have gained in the previous academic year, whilst building new critical thinking skills ready September. On top of this it allows for the development of creativity, self-expression and mindfulness.
Besides, what better way to cure Summer boredom blues than to delve into a new book?
To encourage children to participate in Summer reading this year, we have created our very own KCS Summer Book Club. We’ve invited some of our KCS Champions to share with us their favourite books, in the hopes of inspiring other children to read them!
