The 2021 Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open!
How to Meet the Challenge
| Year Level | Number of Books | Number from the Challenge book list |
| Prep – Year 2 | 30 books | 20 or more |
| Year 3 – Year 6 | 15 books | 10 or more |
Students read the above number of books during the Challenge (1 Feb to 1 September)
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 1 September 2021.
Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books.
Our school library currently has 1418 Reading Challenge books for the students to read.
All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier.
