Children who take part will be encouraged to read as much as they can, explore a variety of genres and formats and recommend titles to friends. They can also read their way to rewards for themselves and their schools, by logging what they have read on the special website. They will then receive virtual rewards and will be entered into prize draws based on the number of books they have read.

The site will also include a number of books from popular children’s authors available to read free online. The competition takes place from 21st January to 22nd March 2013, so if you are interested in taking part, register on the Read for My School site to get involved!
