The Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge (CMRC) is about to start at Holy Trinity for 2022 and we are very proud to have 440 children from the ELC to Year 6 registered for the challenge.
Holy Trinity have been involved in the CMRC for a number of years now. It is a really popular reading challenge and as a school we usually win some great prizes.
Each child is ‘challenged’ to read 30 age-appropriate books over a 15-week time frame. (The challenge does go for longer, but I try to wrap it up at the start of Term 3). We will officially start the challenge Week 10 of this term (next week) and run it until after the July holidays.
There will be a display in the hallway near Kinder that keeps track of which child finishes the 30 books and how many books they read over the challenge.
There is also a raffle that runs throughout the challenge. As children finish a CMRC sheet, they return it to the library, get it signed off and then get a raffle ticket. At the conclusion of the challenge prizes are given to each grade level from Scholastic Book Club funds.
At the end of the challenge, I take four great readers to the awards ceremony, morning tea and a shop at Paperchain. Big fun!
A CMRC form will be sent home to each child on tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. Please keep it safe. The links below are for the two CMRC challenge sheets – one is just for 30 books to be read of your choice; the other sheet is a challenge to read 30 books with a twist.
Happy Days,
