2O March 20007
The Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge
thank you for accepting the Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge
for 2007. You are now registered on the website and can start READING.
Here are a few reminders on how the Challenge works:
o Students in Years 1 and 2 must read or experience 30 books – 20 or more must
come from the Challenge Booklist. You can read books by yourself or with a teacher,
parent, brother or sister, buddy or friend. They can help you, or read the book to you,
if you are just learning to read.
o Students in Years 3 through to 6 must read 15 books - 10 or more must come from
the Challenge Booklist.
o Students record the books they are reading on both the Reading Log (paper copy) and
on the website. The class teacher will sign the Reading Log to verify completed
books and the Reading Challenge Coordinators will later verify online.
o All your information must be completed online before 24 August 2007.
o Teachers have a copy of the booklists which are also available online.
o Each grade will have an ever changing supply of Challenge Booklist books that can be
borrowed.
o The Monash Public Libraries have set aside tubs of books from the Premier’s Reading
Challenge Booklist for borrowing.
