Register Now For Premier's Reading Challenge 2026

The Premier’s Reading Challenge is back for 2025 and open to all students from Prep to Year 9! This is a wonderful opportunity to foster a love of reading as students take part as Independent Readers.

About the Premier's Reading Challenge

"The Premier's Reading Challenge is not a competition but a way to encourage students to develop a love of reading for life." Learn more about the challenge on the Queensland Government website.

• Prep to Year 2: read or experience 20 books*
• Years 3 to 4: read 20 books
• Years 5 to 9: read 15 books

*Experiencing a book includes classroom or at home activities such as shared reading, listening and reading along with a book, or being read to.

The requirement for Year 5 through to Year 9 students to read 15 books rather than 20 books acknowledges that older students are likely to select longer, more complex books that may take them longer to read.
