Dear parents/students
The Premier's Reading Challenge plays an important role in promoting the love of reading and this year more than any other, students will find joy, continuity and comfort in books! With your continued support, our students will keep reading and participating in the Challenge!
In order to make the Premier's Reading Challenge achievable for all in this extraordinary year, we will be doing the following:
- Rules – students will still need to read 12 books by September. However, they can be ALL FREE CHOICE. We understand that it may be difficult to get to libraries so any book students choose to read will be accepted – whether on the Premier's Reading Challenge booklist or not.
- Collecting reading records – students will still need to submit their records. We will accept a scanned copy via email to teachers email address.
- Awards – we have been informed that awards will be sent to our school in November as in previous years.
Please consider SA public libraries one card digital library are free to join and they provide access to the OverDrive service, where there are thousands of eBook titles (and Audiobook titles) using the very user-friendly libby App. This collection has more than 4,000 different children and young people’s titles and includes many Premier’s Reading Challenge books. There are other free services for younger readers such as Brightly Storytime on YouTube and online story reading at Story Time from Space and The Big List of Children’s Authors Doing Online Read Alouds & Activities.
Good luck with the Premier's Reading Challenge this year and please contact us should you need any support.
