Reminder - Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Alphington Primary School is excited to be participating. 

Every student at APS has their own username and password. The classroom teachers have received these and will share them with the students so they can begin.

The PRC application offers a range of exciting features including:

• 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 6 September 2024.

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.
