Reading has many benefits for children, such as

• Preparing for academic success
• Increasing concentration and discipline
• Improving imagination and creativity
• Cultivating a lifelong love of reading

The Albany Rise Book Fair supports these fundamental and vital areas. 2026 Library Leaders, Hannah and Chelsea, busy advertising the Book Fair.

During Term 2, the Foundations, Year Ones, and Year Twos, will be reading 30 picture books from the Premiers’ Reading Challenge booklist.  It is an exciting way to explore the literary world!
