Every Friday, Premier League Primary Stars are helping families keep their children educated and entertained with the Friday Family Challenge.

This week we are asking families to select a book that they can read together over the next two weeks.

You can choose a story book, a matchday programme, a magazine, or a poetry book - anything that is of interest.

You can take it in turns to read a page or chapter each out loud, or you could nominate a family storyteller.

To pick the right book, try using the five finger rule from our Five-a-side Reading Challenge pack to make sure it's just right for you.

The five finger rule

We'd love to see what you've chosen to read, so why not share a picture of your family reading together? Share your photos via @PLCommunities on Twitter by using the #PLPrimaryStars hashtag.

For more exciting home learning activities for the family to try, check out the Primary Stars website.
