**MS Readathon challenges kids to read as much as they can in August.
Kids love earning prizes, collecting badges and completing challenges.
It makes reading fun and exciting!
And kids spend a month reading books, instead of being glued to screens.
All funds raised provide vital support services to families with multiple sclerosis.

Premiers Reading Challenge
Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge
***If you wish to participate in the challenge please notify your class teacher.
The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Ivanhoe Primary is excited to be participating. The PRC application 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 2 September 2022.
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.
