Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge

The Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge:

The Victoria Premiers’s Reading Challenge is now open and St Thomas More is excited to be taking part in Term 2. This year's theme is ‘Stories to discover. Stories to tell.’

The challenge is open to all Victorian Children from birth to Year 10 and aims to help young readers to develop a lifelong love of reading. It is not a competition; it is a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 5 September 2026.

Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books 

Grade 3 and 4 are encouraged to read 15 books throughout the Challenge.

Grade 5 and 6 are encouraged to read 15 books throughout the Challenge.

Since it began in 2005, more than 4.5 million young readers have taken part and together have read more than 63 million books. To read the premiers letter to parents, view the booklist and more information about the Victorian Premiers/ reading Challenge visit: https://www.vic.gov.au/premiers-reading-challenge
