In January 2008, the Reading Agency launched a national initiative to support less confident adult readers, and the Costa Book Awards is delighted to be associated with it.
The Six Book Challenge is an initiative targeted at adults who want to improve their literacy skills and is taking place between January and May 2008. It invites adults to read six books whilst supporting them with incentives and creative reading activities.
Co-ordinated by The Reading Agency, the Challenge is being run by public libraries in partnership with local learning providers.
