Dive into a year-long adventure of reading with the Premier's Reading Challenge. Designed to inspire children and students to explore a wide range of books, this challenge encourages young readers to complete a set number of books and record their progress online. It's a fantastic way to foster a love of reading and learning in your child.
Since its inception in 2005, over 3 million students have participated, reading nearly 51 million books. Your child can join this vibrant community of readers and enjoy the thrill of discovery and achievement.
The challenge involves reading a curated list of books available through the Port Phillip Library Service. These books are easily identifiable by a purple sticker on their spines at any of the five library branches. Participants can register and log their reading progress online, making it simple and interactive.
This activity is perfect for school-aged children who enjoy stories and want to challenge themselves to read more throughout the year. It also offers an excellent opportunity for parents to engage with their children's reading habits and encourage regular library visits.
The Premier's Reading Challenge is accessible through all five branches of the Port Phillip Library Service. You can visit any branch to find the specially marked books or access the extensive catalogue online. The library offers a welcoming environment with helpful staff ready to assist with any questions about the challenge.
Whether you prefer physical visits or digital browsing, the resources are readily available to support your child's reading journey. The libraries also provide computers and Wi-Fi for easy access to the online registration and logging system.
Participation is open to all children and students who wish to take on the reading challenge. The challenge runs annually, encouraging continuous engagement throughout the year. Parents should note that the books are selected to suit a variety of reading levels and interests.
To get started, visit your local Port Phillip Library branch or explore the online catalogue to find the Premier's Reading Challenge books. Librarians are available to help with book selection and registration guidance.
There is no cost to participate in the Premier's Reading Challenge. Registration and book borrowing from the library are free of charge. This makes it an accessible and valuable resource for families looking to enrich their children's reading experiences without financial burden.
Simply register online or at your local library branch to begin the reading adventure. Prizes and recognition are awarded to participants who complete the challenge, adding an exciting incentive for young readers.
