From the Resources Centre: Summer Reading Challenge
Did you know that by reading a mere 20 minutes each day over the 3 months of summer, your son will read an astounding 414,000 words, which equates to 7 novels?
20min/day = 414,000 words = 7 novels
We are running a 20min Sumer Reading Challenge at Joeys and invite you to encourage your son to participate. Why not join him in this challenge?
There are many benefits to reading, some of which include:
- Increased knowledge
- Increased intelligence
- Increased empathy
- Improved vocabulary
- Improved grammar and spelling
- Improved writing
- Stronger analytical thinking skills
- Improved focus and concentration
- Improved school grades
- Greater chance of future success
There really is no downside to regular reading.
Below is the flyer available to your son in the Resources Centre to keep track of his reading.
We hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe holiday season.

The Resources Centre team
