The Summer Reading Challenge 2012 Story Lab

20 July 2012 by Eileen

Last Saturday, we signed up to the Staffordshire Libraries annual Summer Reading Challenge which just launched on that day.  It was for 4 – 12 year olds who are being encouraged to take part in the initiative and keep the boredom at bay during the school holidays.  The challenge is to read six books over the summer break and pick up rewards and incentives along the way.

=There is also a website dedicated to the Summer Reading Challenge called  ‘Story Lab’  where young people can find a whole host of activities and games. The challenge is great news for mums and dads too, as it provides a free source of entertainment and helps maintain reading levels during the long summer break.

Within a week we completed bronze, sliver and gold and this is what we got! A medal and Certificate. Brilliant! The medal didn’t come with a string/ribbon so we added that on. It was free to join the Story Lab. Come and start reading!

    […] I can’t believe that we are almost at the end of the 3rd week of the school summer holidays.  We have been doing a lot of reading and also completed the Staffordshire Libraries Annual Summer Reading Challenge. […]

Hello!

Welcome to ET Speaks From Home!

Hi, I’m Eileen — a mum of two teenagers, aged 18 and 17, and a passionate lifestyle blogger sharing snippets of family life, creativity, and culture since May 2012. My daughter lives with visual impairment, and our journey together has shaped much of the heart behind this blog.

What started as a small space to document family memories has grown into a vibrant corner of the internet where I share my love for cooking, crafting, DIY projects, Chinese culture, parenting, and honest product and YouTube reviews. Whether I’m creating festive crafts, exploring Chinese traditions, or trying out new recipes, I hope to inspire others through everyday moments from home.

Over the years, ET Speaks From Home has been recognised by several parenting and blogging communities, including:

* Top 20 UK Parent Blogs (2020)
* Tots100 Top 20 Blog on Twitter (2014)
* Tots100 Top Mummy Vloggers (2015)
* Tots100 Top 20 Vloggers (2016)
* Shortlisted for the BritMums Brilliance in Blogging Awards (BiBs), Video Category (2014)

Thank you for stopping by and being part of our journey. I hope you’ll find inspiration, useful tips, cultural insights, and a little joy here at ET Speaks From Home. Read More…
