Premiers’ Reading Challenge 2024

The Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open to all students interested in participating! The Challenge encourages children and students to read a set number of books over the year and record their efforts online. 

Foundation to Year 2

All students from F-2 have been registered to complete it as a class. Teachers will record any books they read with their class and we will upload these for each class before the challenge ends. Students in F-2 can still complete the challenge at home too if they wish, they will just need their username and password to log their books.

• Number of books: 30
• Number of books from the Challenge book list: 20 or more

Year 3 to Year 6

Students in 3-6 can complete the challenge at home if they want to participate, they will just need their username and password.

• Number of books: 15
• Number of books from the Challenge book list: 10 or more

Most of the books your child reads should be from the Challenge book lists. The rest can be any book they choose.  Students in Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 can read books by themselves or with someone else. Students can read books on the book list for their year level or a level above and they'll count towards their challenge total. 

If you wish to complete the challenge at home please message your child’s classroom teacher for login details and go to the website: 

https://vprc.eduweb.vic.gov.au/ Simply enter your child’s login details and start adding books.

Students have until the 6th September to complete the challenge.  Happy reading!
