Premier’s Reading Challenge
The Premier's Reading Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students, and to enable them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read more and to read more widely.
The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is available for all NSW students in Kindergarten to Year 9.
The 2019 Challenge kicks off Monday 2nd March and closes Friday 28th August (midnight) for students.
For further information please go to https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/home.html where you should be able to find the answers to any questions you may have.
The Challenge involves over 300,000 students from Kindergarten to Year 9 and more than 2100 government, non-government and home schools. The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge book lists open doors to a rich collection of children’s literature representing a range of books including fiction, non-fiction, picture books, poetry and drama, and include a wide variety of Australian authors.
K-2 students only need to read 30 books while Years 3-9 only need to read 20 between the 2nd March and 28th August. It is a wonderful initiative that I encourage all students to be a part of. Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 students will complete the challenge with their classroom teacher through the books that are read to them on a daily basis. All other students who would like to participate will need to see Miss Bremner for their login details. Below is a link to a video with instructions on how to log in, find books to read and record the books your child has read.
Book Borrowing
It is great to see so many students in the swing of borrowing books each week. Just a reminder, students are allowed to have 2 books out at any one time which they can borrow for 2 weeks. Once students have returned their books they are very welcome to borrow 1-2 more.
Every so often I will send home Overdue notices for any outstanding books. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if your child receives an Overdue notice and you have a query about it.
