Annastacia Palaszczuk yesterday launched the 2019 Premier’s Reading Challenge stemming from her life-long love of reading.
The Premier launched the challenge at her old primary school, Jamboree Heights State School yesterday. Ms Palaszczuk encouraged statewide participation in the annual program aimed at inspiring children to read books, engage in shared reading, or listen to a book being read.
Ms Palaszczuk says the Reading Challenge encourages students from Prep through to Year 9 to put down their devices and read, or listen to a book being read, in school or at home
