Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge
The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open, and we’re excited to be taking part!
All students from Prep to Year 6 are welcome to join in.
This year’s Challenge theme is ‘Stories to discover. Stories to tell’. Stories can inspire and challenge us, and help us grow. They open our eyes to new worlds and new ways of thinking.
It is not a competition; it is a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 4 September 2026.
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.
