Every year, thousands of students across Tasmania participate in the Premier's Reading Challenge. The Challenge encourages personal reading goals over 10 weeks, embracing diverse formats, including recommended books. This year there are an amazing 31,970 students participating from across 152 schools, colleges, and Home Education families!

At Exeter Primary School, each grade is challenged to achieve different goals including- - reading in the library during lunch

- completing the 10 Reading Log page

- reading a range of text types

One of the aims of the PRC is to help students figure out what they love to read so that reading will be easier – so students are encouraged to try reading different things – fiction, non-fiction – blogs, comics, poetry, lyrics, essays, magazines, newspapers… it all counts in the PRC. 

This is a challenge for all Tasmanian students. It doesn’t matter what your reading level is, everyone can take part.   

Reading is a skill we need for life.  All the reading you do in this challenge will help you at school and at home. 

The Challenge runs for 10 weeks until 24 August. For more information you can go to- Premier's Reading Challenge - Department for Education, Children and Young People
