Premier's Reading Challenge
We are delighted to invite all Gympie West State School students to join in the 2025 Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC).
The PRC is not a competition, but a way to encourage students to develop a love of reading for life. Students are encouraged to select a range of fiction and non-fiction books suited to their reading ability and record books read during the reading period, from 6 May to 22 August.
To complete the challenge:
- Prep to Year 2 must read or experience at least 20 books.
- Years 3 and 4 must read at least 20 books.
- Years 5 to 9 must read at least 15 books.
Experiencing books can include shared reading, listening to stories, or reading picture books. The aim for the 2025 challenge is to encourage students to make time to read. Last year saw more than 216,000 children from around the state participate.
Book suggestions are available on the PRC website: https://prc.median.com.au/BookList
