Premier’s Reading Challenge

In the past fortnight all students would have received a reading record sheet from their teacher for this year’s Premier’s Reading Challenge. Students are encouraged to read both at home and school, and record their books on their record sheets. Completed record sheets need to be returned to the office by 27 August 2021. All students who complete the Premier’s Reading Challenge and return their forms to school by the end date will receive a certificate from the Premier.

For a student to successfully complete the Premier's Reading Challenge they are required to read or experience the number of books indicated below:

• Prep to Year 2—read or experience 20 books.
• Years 3 to 4—read 20 books.
• Years 5 to 9—read 15 books.

Experiencing a book includes classroom or at home activities such as shared reading, listening and reading along with a book, or being read to.

The requirement for Year 5 through to Year 9 students to read 15 books rather than 20 books acknowledges that older students are likely to select longer, more complex books that may take them longer to read.
