PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE -SOON STARTING AT ST. LOUIS

Be a reading legend. Reading just 10 minutes each day makes a difference.

Research confirms reading to children just 10 minutes each day strengthens literacy, models positive reading behaviour, and builds children’s self-esteem about reading (especially for boys).

It doesn’t stop there. You can show your children that you value reading by reading yourself. Having books in your house makes a big difference too. Either books you own or books you borrow from the library remind children of the importance and fun of reading.

The Premier’s Reading Challenge is most successful when parents show interest and support their children. Help your child read their 12 books for the year and you will be making a positive difference to their future.

All children will be enrolled into the reading challenge this year and will be given their own passwords as soon as possible.  They then have until September to read books from the Reading Challenge and some 'own choice books'.  

Stay tuned for more information soon.
