Hineraumati Reading Challenge

INSTRUCTIONS

Read any books and eBooks from the library, or ask a grown-up to read to you, or listen to audiobooks or eAudiobooks.  Once you have read (or a grown-up has read to you) for 15 minutes, tick inside the tick icon on challenge form.  Keep reading and ticking, until all the tick icons have been ticked. To complete the challenge you need to have read for 2 hours, and ticked all 8 tick icons on the page. Submit (or upload) your entry when you have read for two hours. You have from December 16 to January 26 to complete the challenge. If you finish early, ask for (or download) another entry to keep reading. You can submit as many entries as you want, one entry for every two hours of reading.

Start the reading challenge by borrowing books and audiobooks from the library, or eBooks and eAudiobooks at gpl.govt.nz. 

Keep reading, the more entries you submit the more chances you have to win!  Weekly spot prizes up for grabs so make sure you get reading!
