Read. Reflect. Grow. – Summer Reading Challenge
This summer, students across Northumberland–Clarke are invited to take part in a reading challenge designed to spark curiosity, strengthen critical thinking, and build lifelong learning habits. The goal is simple: read widely, reflect meaningfully, and grow through new ideas and perspectives. Each reflection can be brief — 3–5 sentences total is sufficient — making it easy to participate while still encouraging thoughtful engagement.
Participants will explore books across a variety of categories, engage with different cultures, histories, and experiences, and earn prize entries along the way. Whether you’re discovering a new author or diving into a topic you’ve never explored before, each book becomes an opportunity to learn something new.

Choose a book that fits one of the squares on the Bingo Board.
