The Victorian Premier's Reading Challenge is on again this year after a successful debut in 2005. In that year some 60,000 students from 1300 schools met the challenge.
The aim of the challenge is to promote the art and enjoyment of reading amongst Victorian school students, aged 4 to 15. Certificates are provided to students in years 3 - 9 (ages 8 to 15) who read 15 books (10 or more from the specified list), and to students in prep - 2 (ages 4 to 7) who read or experience 30 books (20 or more from the list) between the start of the school year and the end of August.
The full booklists are
pretty comprehensive.
