Say a big hello to the team of Ready, Set, Read!

Meet the superstar team and their marvellous animal mascots over the following blog posts and find out all about their fave activities, motivation and skills, and the things they love to read. 

Bringing the team to life is a series of amazing activity challenge cards created by Youth Sport Trust, which you can download for free on each character’s page. Are you ready to get stuck into fun activities with the team? 

You will meet…

  • Naomi and her starfish pal Shelley
  • Alesha and her dog Dynamo
  • Naveen and Cosmo the cat
  • Sophia and dinosaur Doug
  • Noah and his bear mascot Bruno
  • Ollie and Blaze the soaring phoenix 

We hope they inspire you to have your best summer of reading yet!

The beauty of the Summer Reading Challenge is you can read anything you like to complete your Challenge – facts, comics, fiction, poetry and much more – remember listening to audiobooks counts too.

Join at your library OR online.
