Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Auburn South Primary School is excited to be participating. The PRC 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 8 September 2023.

 

Students’ from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Students’ from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books.

 

All students’ who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
