Premiers’ Reading Challenge
The Premiers’ Reading Challenge encourages students to read a set number of books over the year depending on their Challenge level, with their reading efforts recorded online. Picture books, short stories, poems or non-fiction books in any language can be part of the Challenge.
This year’s theme is ‘Explore. Learn. Enjoy’. The challenge ambassador is Melbourne-based author Gabrielle Wang, with the accompanying artwork designed by Shelley Knoll-Miller, a talented Australian illustrator with over 20 years experience as a cartoonist.
Please use this link for more info about the challenge: https://www.vic.gov.au/premiers-reading-challenge. The challenge closes on the 6th of September.
Students login to the online portal and update the books they have read over the course of a few months, with an aim of reading the set amount of books to complete the ‘challenge’.
