Don’t forget the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Drysdale Primary School is excited to be participating. The application being used this year offers a range of exciting features including:
• access to a library catalogue (including book images and blurbs)
• a modern user-friendly interface
• rewarding students with badges as challenge milestones are achieved
• the option for students to mark books as a favourite, give them a star rating or complete a book review
The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 18 September 2021.
Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books (including 20 or more from the booklist) with their parents. Children from Year 3 to Year 6 are challenged to read 15 books (including 10 or more from the booklist).
All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
