Hey there, bookworms and adventure seekers! Are you ready to embark on an epic reading journey this summer? Well, hold onto your hats because we've got something super exciting for you!

Guess what? Your spectacular school has signed up for the Serial Mash Summer Reading Challenge, and you're invited to be a part of it! Woohoo!

Now, you might be wondering, "What's the Serial Mash Summer Reading Challenge all about?" Well, let me tell you, it's going to be a blast!

Picture this: a whole summer filled with magical stories, fascinating characters, and thrilling adventures waiting for you to dive into. Whether you love mysteries, fantasy, or funny tales, there's something for everyone on Serial Mash.

And here's the best part: by joining the challenge, you'll clock up minutes read and be in with a chance of winning some phenomenal prizes. How awesome is that? I'm talking about goodies that'll make your summer shine brighter than the sun! ☀

Tell me the prizes!

Ok, ok! I'll tell you what they are (I know that's what you're most interested in):

For top readers:

• Limited Edition Serial Mash badges will be sent to the top 3 classes
• The top 5 readers will receive Serial Mash goody bags
• The student with the most minutes read will have a future Serial Mash character named after them

For the school with most minutes read (as an average per student):

• A year's subscription to Serial Mash
• A future Serial Mash character named after the teacher whose class has the most minutes read

Imagine that! You AND your teacher could be characters in the same book... but only if your whole class has the most minutes read, so you better get pestering your friends to read...

BUT the best prize of all is that as you read your way through the summer, you'll be sharpening your imagination, boosting your vocabulary, and becoming a super-duper reader along the way. How cool is that? 😎

Hmm, I'm listening... how do I take part?

Aha, I knew the prizes would excite you (it was the 'super-duper reader' bit that did it, wasn't it?)! So, how do you get started? It's as easy as pie! Just sign in to Serial Mash on a tablet, laptop or phone, and read any of the books that you like the look of. Your teacher will be able to give you your login codes. If you already have Purple Mash at your school you can just use the same login.

Your reading minutes will automatically be counted from 8th July - 13th September, which is TEN WHOLE WEEKS to read! (Fun Fact: if you read for the WHOLE TEN WEEKS, that would be 100,800 minutes! No sleeping or eating though, and I think you might have to do a bit of that...)!

And guess what else? You can also complete fun activities, like quizzes, writing tasks and more, to spice up your reading experience.

So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to embark on the reading adventure of a lifetime with the Serial Mash Summer Reading Challenge! Your imagination awaits, and the fun starts now!

Psst! Don't forget to spread the word to your friends and classmates. The more readers, the merrier! Let's make this summer the best one yet!

Happy reading, adventurers! See you in the pages of Serial Mash! 📚✨
