Reading Championship Guide

In Reception and Key Stage 1, pupils will be rewarded according to the number of occasions they read at home, as opposed to the number of books they read. Your child will therefore earn their bronze badge once they have read at home 20 times, rather than once they have read 20 books.  In Key Stage 2, pupils will continue to earn badges for the number of books they read.
