Readers Challenge 2019

Message from the Premier:

The 2019 Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge

 

Welcome to the 2019 Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge.

Since it began in 2005, the Challenge has inspired more than 2.8 million young Victorians to read more than 48 million books.

Now in its 15th year, the Challenge is a cornerstone in our efforts to get more Victorian kids reading and learning the skills that’ll set them up for life.

Whether it's travelling to the edge of the universe, or exploring treasures in your own backyard, I know you’ve got some exciting adventures ahead.

                                                        Good luck and enjoy.

 

FOR SCHOOL STUDENTS:

If you're a student in Year 7 to year 10 you need to:

  1. register as a challenger and keep a record of your reading on the challenge website (See Jenny in the Library if you need help)
  2. read a certain number of books during the challenge, as shown below.
  3. get a coordinator at your school to confirm that you've read the books you've registered online
  4. make sure all your information is completed online by the date set by your school.

NUMBER OF BOOKS TO READ:

YEAR 7 to YEAR 9

Number of books: 15

Number of books from the challenge book list: 10 or more

 

YEAR 10

Number of books: 15

Number of books from the challenge book list: 5 or more

 

WHAT YOU CAN READ:

Most of the books you read should be from the challenge book lists. The rest can be any book you choose.

You can read books on the book list for your year level or a level above and they will count towards your challenge total. You should check with your teachers or parents if you are not in year 9 or 10 and want to read a book from that list. This list includes titles for mature readers.

You can read a book from a level below your year level if your teacher agrees. You still need to read the number of books for your year level to meet the challenge.
