Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge
Well done to Sebastian from RM 5 who has already completed the Challenge!
REMINDER
The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge 2026 is now open and Moonee Ponds West PS is excited to be taking part!
The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 and aims to help young readers develop a lifelong love of reading.
It is not a competition; it is a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 4 September 2026.
Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books.
All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
Since it began in 2005, more than 4.5 million young readers have taken part and together read more than 63 million books!
- The 2026 Challenge theme is ‘Stories to discover. Stories to tell’. For details, follow the Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge Facebook
