Premier’s Reading Challenge: This year in Year 3/4, students will have their own individual records to track the books they read. Students are required to read eight books from the book list and four free choice books. The full list of suitable books for your child can be found online at this link:  https://premiersreadingchallenge.sa.edu.au/book-list/   

 

As you read books at home, please feel free to email them to us so we can help your child to add them to their list or alternatively feel free to visit the classroom before or after school to add them to the list with your child. The recording sheets will be kept at school.  We will also aim to read some books as a class to help to complete our records.
