Have you heard about the Six Book Challenge?

The Six Book Challenge invites less confident readers to read six books (such as the Quick Reads) and record their reading in a diary. They are supported with incentives and rewarded with a certificate when they complete the Challenge.

During 2009 nearly 9000 UK adults took part through libraries, colleges, adult and community education, workplaces and prisons, over 20,000 people have already signed up to take part this year.

The Challenge is run by The Reading Agency, an independent charity working to inspire more people to read more. “It’s a hard slog to turn yourself into a fluent reader,” says Miranda McKearney, Director of The Reading Agency. “We’re finding that this deceptively simple scheme can really make a difference, and are thrilled to see how fast it’s growing.”

Patron of the challenge is the prolific author Mike Gayle (My Legendary Girlfriend, Mr. Commitment, Turning Thirty)
