The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is an annual statewide initiative for Queensland state and non-state schools and home-educated students from Prep to Year 9, as well as children (aged up to 5 years) enrolled in an early childhood centre. The PRC aims to improve literacy and encourage children to read for pleasure and learning.

The 2025 reading period has concluded and the database is closed. Certificates have been posted to arrive in time for celebration weeks held from 3 to 14 November 2025. Schools, early childhood centres and parents of individual readers are encouraged to recognise reading achievements by holding classroom, school or home ceremonies to present certificates during this time.

If you have not received your certificates by 19 October, please email​ us at reading.challenge@qed.qld.gov.au.

Sign up to our mailing list to stay up to date with PRC.
