📚 Cancer Research UK Read Every Day In November Challenge 📚
Earlier this month I read a social media post from Cancer Research UK about their Read Every Day In November Challenge. The challenge is designed to encourage reading with no rules and no pressure to raise money to help fund vital cancer research.
It has been well researched and documented that reading is good for mental health for all ages and for children’s learning and development.
I’ve always liked reading. Thinking back to my childhood, I remember learning to read at primary school and reading at home with my parents. Now, my parents, sister and fiance all read and each of us always has a book on the go. I like to read what I call a ‘proper’ book as this helps me have a much needed break from screen time and the notifications which are part of everyday life.
Even though I read every day anyway, I’m looking forward to taking part in this challenge.
Will you join the challenge with me?
There’s plenty of time for your friends and family to join in too and maybe you could swap books with them over the month!
