            <description><![CDATA[<h1>About the PowerPoints provided</h1>

<p>There are thee PowerPoints provided, described below:</p>


<ul>
<li>Quest Seekers Children's PowerPoint</li>
<li>Quest Seekers School/teacher PowerPoint</li>
<li>Quest Seekers Training PowerPoint</li>
</ul>




<h2>Quest Seekers Children's PowerPoint</h2>

<p>This has been designed to appeal to children and families to encourage children to join in.</p>

<p>It can be used as a backdrop in the library, perhaps as a default on computer terminals,  or plasma screens,  and  when presenting to groups of children in schools, outreach groups, Brownies, Cubs etc. Some health centres/ surgeries may also be able to play it as a slide show in waiting rooms etc. </p>

<p>The powerpoint is not locked so you can customise it with additional slides or edit the text to suit. The font used is Comic Sans MS regular.</p>

<p>On slide 7 we have plucked a typical start and finish date: 17th July and  4th September. Please edit to reflect your dates / or delete dates.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.readingagency.org.uk/children/QuestSeekersChildrensPowerPoint.ppt">QuestSeekersChildrensPowerPoint</a></p>

<h2>Quest Seekers School/teacher PowerPoint</h2>

<p>This PowerPoint summarises the key facts and figures about the scale of the Summer Reading Challenge, how it works, the materials (including the Beyond Quest Seekers and Booked Up booklet) and some quotes from users. We used a shorter version of this to talk to teachers and literacy advisers at a national conference about the Summer Reading Challenge, and we think  you will find it useful for similar presentations to education / other partners.</p>

<p>The powerpoint is not locked so you can customise it to make is shorter or  with additional slides or delete those not relevant, and edit the text to suit. </p>

<p>You may want to add a slide/ point about dates the challenge is running in your area, any local partnerships and plans and perhaps change the quotes with some from local families, teachers, staff etc.  The font used is Aerial regular.</p>

<h2>Quest Seekers Training PowerPoint</h2>

<p>This is designed to complement your library staff training. It is a checklist for planning with library staff in preparation for running the summer reading challenge. the challenge is designed to be flexible, to fit individual library authority requirements, so it can be amended to reflect your own system.  See the accompanying training notes:  Running Quest Seekers <span class="caps">SRC.</span>doc</p>
