Winter Mini Challenge 2023 - Ready, Set, Read!

The Winter Mini Challenge came back for 2023! This online challenge invited children aged 4 - 11 to read three books or more, between 1 December and 19 February, to earn digital rewards.

Following the popular Ready, Set, Read! Summer Reading Challenge - which saw over 10,000 children in Nottinghamshire take part - the Ready, Set, Read! team came back for a Winter Mini Challenge.

Children joined Alesha, Naomi, Naveen, Noah, Ollie and Sophia and as they wrapped up warm for a winter walk and unleashed the power of play, sport and physical activity through reading.

Taking part in the Winter Mini Challenge is simple.   

• Sign up at www.wintermini.org.uk to create an online profile (if you took part in the Summer Reading Challenge online you might have a profile already).  Children will be asked to provide a parent/carer email address to approve signup.
• Read at least 3 books over the holidays. 
• Rate and review the books on the Winter Mini Challenge website to unlock a virtual badge and download a certificate to print. 

You can also play games on the website, find book reviews, activities and content from the best children’s authors and illustrators around.

There is help and guidance available to support signing up to the online challenge on The Reading Agency's website.
