The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge encourages students to participate in an ongoing reading program, reading a set number of books at their own reading level. It is not a competition, but a challenge to each student - to read, to read more and to read more widely.

The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge for 2024 begins on Monday 26 February and concludes Friday 23 August 2024. We would encourage everyone to participate in this worthwhile Challenge.

What does the challenge involve?

Kindergarten to Year 2 students need to experience 30 books, 20 of these books need to come from the K-2 PRC booklists. 10 books can be their own free choice. Students can read the books on their own or be read to by parents/carers.

Years 3-6 students need to read 20 books, 10 of these books must be on the PRC booklists and 10 books can be their own free choice.

PRC books can be found in our school library and in local council libraries.

How to register and record books online:

1. Go to the PRC website (or login in via the shortcut in your child’s Student Portal).
2. Select the "log on" button from the menu on the left of the PRC website.
3. Enter the student's DET username and password.
4. Enter the PRC ID code for each book the student has read.

Students in Kindy and Year 1 will be given their details next week.

Students in Years 2 to 6, should already know their DET username and password.
