Scholastic Summer Reading Trail
Join us for the Scholastic Summer Reading Trail and get ready for a reading adventure!
Here at Scholastic, we know just how important reading for pleasure is, so we’ve created a series of fun challenges to keep children excited about reading over the summer holidays.
Wherever you are, you can explore the whole world with a book! Download and print off the map to keep track of your reading progress. Plus, there are lots of book-themed activities for you to enjoy, and even a certificate for once you’ve completed the trail!
Mix-and-match your own Summer Reading pack!
Our children’s book experts have picked out some fantastic books to help you complete each challenge. Pick any 6 of our recommended reads to create your very own Summer Reading Trail pack, and you’ll get 20% off!
Plus, when you shop with us, we’ll donate 20% of your order value back to a school of your choice to help them build their libraries and book corners. Find out more about earning free books for your school.
