This summer, children aged 4 to 11 can visit their local library to meet the Gadgeteers and to get involved in a science and innovation themed Summer Reading Challenge.


Through taking part in the Challenge, with free materials from libraries across Wales and online via the Challenge website, children will be able to join six fictional Gadgeteers. The characters, brought to life by children’s writer and illustrator Julian Beresford, use their curiosity and wonder to understand the science behind a whole range of interests, from fashion and technology to cooking and music.


Through an exciting book collection and accompanying activities, the Gadgeteers will help to spark children’s curiosity about the world around them, and encourage them to feed their imagination over the summer holiday. They will be boggled by brilliant facts, gaze at the stars, and be inspired by tales of creativity and invention. With plenty of great options across picture books, early readers and middle grade books. 


The Welsh Government is working with the Books Council of Wales to bring the Summer Reading Challenge to libraries and communities across Wales.


Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, Dawn Bowden, said:



> “There’s nothing better than getting carried away in a good book or two over the summer holidays, and I’m delighted that we’re able to support libraries across Wales to make reading a fun\-filled activity for children across Wales, and to help them discover the joy of reading and spark their imaginations.
> 
> 
> “I’d like to thank all of the library staff involved in making the Summer Reading Challenge such a success in Wales.


Education Minister, Jeremy Miles, said:



> “The summer holidays are a great time to discover new stories and enjoy sharing them with family and friends. The Summer Reading Challenge is a fantastic opportunity to ignite a passion for reading in children so they can develop the important skills they need later in life. I encourage children across Wales to visit their local library and take up the challenge.


During 2021, the Summer Reading Challenge reached 21,148 children across Wales in partnership with public libraries. The Challenge continued to reach well over half a million children across the UK in 2021 as lockdowns eased, motivating children to keep reading during a difficult time. Families told The Reading Agency that taking part in the Summer Reading Challenge helped their children to enjoy reading more, feel more confident about reading and ‘feel better’ during a tough period. Family use of libraries also increased amongst Challenge participants, with more than 1779 children from Wales joining the library as new members.


Angharad Sinclair, Books Council of Wales, said:



> “The Books Council of Wales is proud to work alongside The Reading Agency and public libraries to support this valuable and important initiative again this year. We believe that a love of reading is a wonderful and powerful tool, that not only equips them with an important life skill, but also opens up a world of possibilities and adventures. What better way to enjoy the summer holidays than exploring the wealth of books that are on offer through your local library and having fun with the Gadgeteers at the same time!

Yr haf hwn, gall plant 4 i 11 oed ymweld â'u llyfrgell leol i gwrdd â'r Teclynwyr ac i gymryd rhan mewn Her Ddarllen yr Haf ar thema gwyddoniaeth ac arloesi. 


Drwy gymryd rhan yn yr Her, gyda deunyddiau am ddim o lyfrgelloedd ledled Cymru ac ar\-lein drwy wefan yr Her, bydd plant yn gallu ymuno â chwe Teclynwyr ffuglennol. Mae'r cymeriadau, a ddaeth yn fyw gan yr awdur a'r darlunydd plant Julian Beresford, yn defnyddio eu chwilfrydedd a'u hawydd i ddeall y wyddoniaeth y tu ôl i ystod eang o ddiddordebau, o ffasiwn a thechnoleg i goginio a cherddoriaeth.  


Drwy gasgliad o lyfrau cyffrous a gweithgareddau cysylltiedig, bydd y Teclynwyr yn helpu i sbarduno chwilfrydedd plant am y byd o'u cwmpas, ac yn eu hannog i fwydo eu dychymyg dros wyliau'r haf. Byddant yn cael digonedd o ffeithiau gwych, yn syllu ar y sêr, ac yn cael eu hysbrydoli gan hanesion o greadigrwydd a dyfeisiadau. Gyda digon o opsiynau gwych ar draws llyfrau lluniau, darllenwyr cynnar a llyfrau gradd ganolig.    

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio gyda Chyngor Llyfrau Cymru i ddod â Her Ddarllen yr Haf i lyfrgelloedd a chymunedau ledled Cymru.  


Meddai Dawn Bowden, y Dirprwy Weinidog dros y Celfyddydau a Chwaraeon:



> "Does dim byd gwell na diflannu i mewn i lyfr neu ddau da dros wyliau'r haf, ac rwy'n falch iawn ein bod yn gallu cefnogi llyfrgelloedd ledled Cymru i wneud darllen yn weithgaredd llawn hwyl i blant ledled Cymru, ac i'w helpu i ddarganfod y llawenydd o ddarllen a sbarduno eu dychymyg. 
> 
> 
> "Hoffwn ddiolch i holl staff y llyfrgell a fu'n rhan o'r gwaith o wneud Her Ddarllen yr Haf yn gymaint o lwyddiant yng Nghymru.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Addysg, Jeremy Miles:



> "Mae gwyliau'r haf yn amser gwych i ddarganfod straeon newydd a mwynhau eu rhannu gyda theulu a ffrindiau. Mae Her Ddarllen yr Haf yn gyfle gwych i danio angerdd dros ddarllen mewn plant fel y gallant ddatblygu'r sgiliau pwysig sydd eu hangen arnynt yn ddiweddarach mewn bywyd. Rwy'n annog plant ledled Cymru i ymweld â'u llyfrgell leol a derbyn yr her.


Yn ystod 2021, cyrhaeddodd Her Ddarllen yr Haf 21,148 o blant ledled Cymru mewn partneriaeth â llyfrgelloedd cyhoeddus. Parhaodd yr Her i gyrraedd ymhell dros hanner miliwn o blant ledled y DU yn 2021 wrth i'r cyfyngiadau symud leddfu, gan gymell plant i barhau i ddarllen yn ystod cyfnod anodd. Dywedodd teuluoedd wrth yr Asiantaeth Ddarllen fod cymryd rhan yn Her Ddarllen yr Haf wedi helpu eu plant i fwynhau darllen mwy, teimlo'n fwy hyderus am ddarllen a 'theimlo'n well' yn ystod cyfnod anodd. Cynyddodd defnydd teuluol o lyfrgelloedd hefyd ymhlith cyfranogwyr yr Her, gyda mwy na 1779 o blant o Gymru yn ymuno â'r llyfrgell fel aelodau newydd.


Dywedodd Angharad Sinclair, Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru: 



> "Mae Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru yn falch o weithio ochr yn ochr â'r Asiantaeth Ddarllen a llyfrgelloedd cyhoeddus i gefnogi'r fenter werthfawr a phwysig hon eto eleni. Credwn fod cariad at ddarllen yn arf wych a phwerus, sydd nid yn unig yn rhoi sgil bywyd pwysig iddynt, ond sydd hefyd yn agor posibiliadau ac anturiaethau niferus. Pa ffordd well o fwynhau gwyliau'r haf na darllen y cyfoeth o lyfrau sydd ar gael drwy eich llyfrgell leol a chael hwyl gyda'r Teclynwyr ar yr un pryd!
