Premier's Reading Challenge
The PRC began this week and runs until 19th August 2022. The list of books the children can read from is available on the PRC website. This year they have added another 230 books so there is even more choice. Many of the books are available in the library. Any student interested in completing the challenge is asked to add their name to the sheet in the library by Friday. Students will be added to the PRC site on Monday and usernames and passwords shared after that. Anyone who took part last year can use the same username and log in.
The challenge is as follows:-
| Challenge | Number of books you must read | Minimum number of PRC books | Maximum number of Personal Choice books | PRC booklists you can read from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| K-2 | 30 | 25 | 5 | K-2, 3-4, 5-6 |
| 3-4 | 20 | 15 | 5 | 3-4, 5-6, 7-9 |
| 5-6 | 20 | 15 | 5 | 5-6, 7-9 |
