2024 NSW PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE

Pic_1.png

The NSW Premier's Reading Challenge is now open and Mary Immaculate is excited to be participating!

What is the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge?

The PRC is a statewide challenge that encourages students to develop a love of reading and enables them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition, but a challenge to encourage each student to read, to read more, and to read more widely.

All students who complete the Challenge and have their reading record validated by the school’s PRC coordinator, Mrs Sidorenko, will receive a certificate signed by the Premier of NSW.

How many books do students need to read?

Students in Kindergarten to Year 2 are challenged to read or experience 30 books. 20 of these books must be from the relevant Challenge booklists, and up to 10 books can be Personal Choice books. Books can be read with a parent or carer. 

Students in Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 20 books independently. At least 10 of these books must be from the relevant Challenge booklists, and up to 10 books can be Personal Choice books.

If a book is from an approved PRC series, students can enter up to 5 books as Challenge books, and can read up to 10 other books from the same series as Personal Choice books. More information on the rules of the Challenge can be found ON the PRC website.

Books must be added to a student’s online reading record by a parent or carer by Friday 23 August 2024 in order for their reading record to be validated and receive a certificate.

How do students log their reading?

Students can access the PRC’s Student Experience site using their DoE username and password, or can log into the site via the Student Portal. Once Mrs Sidorenko registers a student, a note will be sent home with student details to access the site and log reading.

How can students find books on the NSW PRC challenge lists?

Many of the books that are on the PRC list can be found in our school library and borrowed by students completing the Premier’s Reading Challenge. The local public library is another great resource and many of the PRC books can be found there as well. Visit the PRC website for a complete list of books. 

If your child would like to participate in the 2024 Premier’s Reading Challenge, please fill in the Google Form via the link below. I hope to see many students join in this great initiative and look forward to hearing about all the books our students have read.
