Six Book Challenge first prize success
College of West Anglia student, Paulina Rokoszny, has won first prize in the Six Book Challenge.
The Challenge invites entrants across the country to choose six reads, which among others can include newspapers, poems, plays, websites and books. Competitors then have to review them, in order to enter the prize draw.
The competition is run by The Reading Agency and takes place every year in libraries, colleges, workplaces and prisons. Paulina was chosen from over 4300 entries and has won an all-expenses paid trip to London with a guest.
The Reading Agency’s Six Book Challenge gets adults and young people engaged in an enjoyment of reading – particularly those who struggle.
Paulina, who is from Poland, has just completed an ESOL course (English for Speakers of Other Languages) at the College. She has taken part in the Six Book Challenge for the last two years through the College’s Learning Resource Centre, with the full support of her tutor.
Learning Resources Officer Liz Ford says: "We always have a large number of enthusiastic participants from the ESOL classes and from other departments cross-college. All of them get a lot of enjoyment out of taking part."
