Partner with the Premier's Reading Challenge

The Premier's Reading Challenge is an annual statewide i​nitiative for state and non-state schools, home-educated students up to Year 9 and children attending an early childhood centre.

Since 2006, the challenge has aimed to improve literacy and encourage children to engage in reading for learning and pleasure.

Becoming a corporate partner

The Premier's Reading Challenge provides your organisation the opportunity to partner with a key event on the Queensland education calendar.

As a partner, you'll receive direct exposure and engagement with children and their families across Queensland. Each year, more than 160,000 young Queenslanders from Prep to Year 9 take part in the challenge through their school, early childhood centre or as an individual.

Our goal is to welcome new readers and to continue to build on the incredibly number of books read statewide.

The challenge allows your organisation to demonstrate its support for an initiative that is helping to improve literacy skills amongst young people.
