Ready – Set – Read! Challenges
The Ready – Set – Read! Challenges are the heart of the Reading City campaign. They encourage readers of all ages to get their literacy skills in shape before the reading celebration year of 2026. The Ready – Set – Read! Challenge develops the joy and skills of reading with low-threshold tasks.
The Ready – Set – Read! Challenges include four different challenge sets: for adults, work communities, school children and families, early childhood education and preschool.
Readers of all skill levels are welcome to come along and get in better reading shape. Literature can be enjoyed in many ways: by picking up a printed book, listening to audiobooks or by reading online texts. The Ready – Set – Read! Challenges encourage people to read and promote their literacy skills.
