Six Book Challenge

The Foundation Studies department at Newcastle-under-Lyme College delivered the first of two launches on  Tuesday 29 May to a group of learners who have expressed an interest in participating in the Six Book Challenge. 

The Six Book Challenge has been integrated in to the curriculum, as it is hoped it will maintain the momentum for the Colleges established readers and inspire others to get in to the reading habit.

Participants are encouraged to increase their use of the library and share reading experiences with others. To complete the challenge, learners will keep a diary of book reviews.  Once they have read three books they are awarded a ‘half way’ prize, then on the completion of six books they are awarded a certificate and six book challenge mug!!
