Premier's Reading Challenge

The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is an annual statewide initiative for students up to Year 9. Over the past 11 years, more than 10 million books have been read and, in 2015 alone, more than 138,500 students and children participated in the challenge.

The challenge is not a competition but aims to improve literacy and encourage children to read for pleasure and learning. For a student to successfully complete the challenge, they must read or experience the allocated number of books for their year level during the reading period. Students who complete the challenge have their efforts recognised by receiving a Certificate of Achievement signed by Queensland’s Premier.

The challenge runs from now until 26^th August. Any student interested in participating should collect a reading form from the library. For more information and suggested reading lists go to: http://education.qld.gov.au/schools/readingchallenge/.
