Literacy

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is up and running again this year. This year is extra special… it’s the 20th anniversary of the Challenge! Since 2005, more than 4.5 million students have read over 63 million books. Yarra Road Primary School has participated in the Challenge right from the beginning!

The Challenge is for students to read a set number of books by the beginning of September.

• Prep - Year 2 students need to have read 30 books or have the books read to them. 20 of these need to be ‘Challenge’ books.

• Year 3 – 6 students need to read 15 books independently – 10 of these need to be 'Challenge' books, and the others may be student choice books.

   

Students may enter up to 100 books. All books entered need to have been read this year.

The list of Challenge books is on the website. We have many of them in the library marked with ‘Challenge Stickers’. Any book read by the students since the beginning of this year may be entered into the Reading Challenge website.

In the junior school, the teachers enter the books that are read in class, but students may get their usernames and passwords from their teacher to add extra books themselves. Middle and senior school students all enter their books independently. 

Below are links for the 'Student Log In' page and the 'Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge Facebook' page. 

Happy reading everyone!
