Premiers' Reading Challenge

The PRC is now open for students to login and register their books. If students remember their login from last year it is still valid so they can login when ready. Parents of students in Kinder and Year 1 are still welcome to register their children – just send a letter in to me with your child’s name and class. Don’t forget to look at the PRC website to make sure the books chosen by the students are on the correct list – if you have too many not on the list they will not be accepted, nor will any more than 3 books from the same series.  Years  3 - 6 must read 15 from the lists and may read 5 personal choice; Kinder – Year 2 must read 25 from the lists and may also read 5 personal choice. Have a look at the Premiers' Reading Challenge website: https://products.schools.nsw.edu.au/prc/booklist/home.html

Our Oliver Library catalogue will let you know what books from the lists are available in our Library. Go to oliver.dow.catholic.edu.au/miev and type ‘premier’ in the search box. Then select the level required and the search results will indicate  available titles. Campbelltown and Eagle Vale Libraries have the relevant books marked appropriately too, to make them easy to find. 

Overdrive and Sora 

We can also access eBooks and Audiobooks through Overdrive and Sora. The links are on our Oliver Library home page – oliver.dow.catholic.edu.au/miev , or you can click on the following links:

The students will need to know their school Google login, CEnet credentials, which is their surname, intitial, 01  (or allocated number), and their password, which is usually Miev and four numbers. For example – Sam Smith could be SmithS01:

password Miev1234

Daily Reading

Remember how important it is for your children to see you reading too – they always love to imitate their parents. Try to find the time to sit with them even for ten minutes a day. 

"Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him."

Maya Angelou, Poet

Happy reading!
