The Big Friendly Read, Summer Reading Challenge 2016 features some of Roald Dahl’s best-loved characters and the amazing artwork of his principal illustrator, Sir Quentin Blake. The Big Friendly Read will encourage reading on a giant scale. Each child’s collector folder will enhance their reading experiences by highlighting themes such as invention, mischief and friendship all of which are explored in Roald Dahl’s most famous books. Children will be encouraged to expand their own reading by exploring similar themes, fantastic facts, characters and stories across the best contemporary children’s writing. The Big Friendly Read Website and App The children’s website URL for 2016 is www.bigfriendlyread.org.uk, although children can also access the site using the year-round URL www.summerreadingchallenge.org.uk. Once on the website, children can create a personal profile and add books they’ve read to the Book Sorter. Once again we’re working with SOLUS to create an interactive App to enhance the Challenge and Book Sorter.

RNIB have subsidised these resources. Initially, these resources were popular and families reported the benefits of the materials. However in recent years authorities haven’t been ordering as many VI materials and this makes the offer less cost effective and the availability throughout the UK patchy. Looking ahead, we are discussing other approaches with RNIB around the best use of resources. The core activity of the Challenge is choosing and reading books in all formats and the free RNIB Talking Books loans service www.rnib.org.uk/books, and partnership working through Share the Vision www.share-the-vision.org.uk support this. We are looking at which materials to produce to complement the Challenge, so for this item, we are asking you to submit a note of interest to determine the level of interest in maintaining a print offer with similar materials at a similar cost to previous years e.g. £13 for 20 children. Once we have indications of interest and we have discussed further with RNIB, we will send round description and supplementary order information. Materials shown are samples only and may be subject to change. 7 THE BOOK COLLECTIONS The books in the collections have been selected by library professionals, reviewers and with input from Chatterbooks groups.
