Premier's Reading Challenge
By Jackie Gilbert
We are excited to announce that Glen Waverley Primary School will be participating in the 2022 Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge. The aim of the challenge is to promote a love of reading and inspire children to read and ‘experience’ new and exciting books and encourage families to be actively involved in supporting children to read. Reading from an early age is vital for success at school and has lifelong benefits.
The Challenge invites children from Prep to Year 6 to read a set number of books and record their efforts online. 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 6 are challenged to read 15 books.
It is a great way to get children talking about reading with friends and family, and to challenge themselves to read as many books as they can. There is no cost involved in participating in the challenge. Classroom teachers will provide all students with a username and password. Students are to read and record the books they are reading on the Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge Website.
To access the Victorian Premier's Reading Challenge you need to log in as a student using the following link;
