Premier's Reading Challenge 2021
The 2021 Premier’s Reading Challenge is open!
Your child has been invited to take part in this year’s NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC). This is a program that encourages students to read quality fiction and non-fiction books from a selected list nominated by the premier’s office.
What does the challenge involve?
To become involved in the challenge, Kindergarten students need to experience 30 books, 25 of these books need to come from the K-2 PRC booklists. Five books can be their own free choice. Children can read the books on their own or be read to by parents/carers.
For years 3-6 students need to read 20 books, 15 of these books must be on the PRC booklists and 5 books can be their own free choice.
PRC books can be found in our school library and in local council libraries. Students and parents are welcome to borrow PRC books on their borrowing day.
For the PRC booklists, please visit: https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/booklist/home.html
All books need to be read and recorded online by 20th August 2021. In term, four students who complete the challenge will receive a certificate from the PRC team on completion.
