Meet Phoebe Nicholls from Hallidays Point Public School who is now an avid reader thanks to her participation in the Summer Reading Club – an annual initiative between MidCoast Libraries Mid Coast 4 Kids and Mission Australia to promote children reading over the December-January Summer holiday break.

Phoebe participated several years ago when she was in Year 1 after seeing it promoted at her local library. Phoebe says she really struggled with reading at that stage but once she signed up she saw it as a challenge and set herself goals every day to read books. “I got up early and read as many books as I could and I loved filling in the activity sheets. I found reading difficult and would start be taking the home reader books out but throughout the challenge I really improved and I got up to reading a total of 200 books or 10 books a day.”

Phoebe says she is now a much better reader and loves books such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and lots of mystery books such as the Friday Barnes series. “I now read much larger chapter books.”

Phoebe also credits reading books to giving her more confidence in speaking and recommends taking part in the Summer Reading Club to other young children. “My advice it just do it and give it a go because it really will make a big difference to your reading.”

Thanks, Phoebe for sharing about how this fun annual reading initiative has made such a big difference in your life.
