Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge

Murrumbeena Primary School is excited to be participating in the Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge. All students have been given their login details and can continue to add books. Please contact your child’s classroom teacher if you need the username and password resent. We are hoping all Murrumbeena Primary students will complete the reading challenge this year.

The Premier's Reading Challenge 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 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 6 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.
