Premiers Reading Challenge
It’s that time of year again when the Premiers Reading Challenge begins!
The Premiers Reading Challenge is a state-wide initiative for students from Prep to Year 9. The challenge is not a competition but aims to improve literacy and encourage children to read widely for pleasure and learning. Students can read any book from home, the school or public library.
For a student to complete the challenge, they must read or experience a book with a parent, the allocated number of books for their year level, during the reading period.
