Premiers' Reading Challenge

Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open. A new application is being used this year that offers a range of exciting features including:

• access to a library catalogue (including book images and blurbs)
• a modern user-friendly interface
• rewarding  students with badges as challenge milestones are achieved
• the option for students to mark books as a favourite, give them a star rating or complete a book review

The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 4 September 2020.

Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Parents will be given details from their child’s classroom teacher to log in soon.

Children from Year 3 to Year 9 are challenged to read 15 books. 

Students can log in here using their existing edupass details and begin entering the books they have read during the remote learning period. 

All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
