2018 NSW Premier's Reading Challenge

 

 

Students are encouraged to take part in The NSW Premier's Reading Challenge 2018.

The SHPS library staff continues to promote the NSW Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) as a great way to extend children's reading skills and expose them to a ‘smorgasbord' of classic writing for children.

PRC titles in the K-2 (marked with a Pink Star) section of the PRC are located separately in the school library for ease of selection. At Summer Hill PS, PRC books in the Y3-4 section of the challenge are marked with a Yellow Star, while books in the Y5-6 section are marked with a Green Star. Y3-6 students participating in the PRC are able to self-select items of interest to them from the library catalogue.

All titles read aloud to Kindergarten, Year One and Year Two students during library lessons in Terms One and Two will be automatically added to K, Y1 or Y2 students' PRC records online.

Once read, each PRC title should be recorded into the student's reading record online at:

*the website will not be accepting entries until the Challenge commences on 5th March, hence keen students will need to document their reading on paper until then. The challenge closes in August so there is plenty of time to start reading.

Children can log on to the PRC website using the same username and password they use to access the Kidspace Portal.

*Please note that the library computer system does not record your child's loan history
