Your Reading Diet

In the Discovery Centre we promote a balanced reading diet - this is what it looks like...


Fuel your reading diet with challenge books, your challenge books are fiction books that will help you grow.  From Year 3 onwards, children are encouraged to borrow 1 to 2 challenge books a week.

Ensure your reading diet is balanced with non-fiction - from Year 1 onwards, children are encouraged to borrow one balance book each week and to be curious about the world around them.

Treat yourself from time to time with 'sugar, healthy fats and salt' books - these are the books you love to read, but are no longer challenging you. All students are encouraged to borrow no more than 1 'Sugar' book each week.

Here is the latest "Healthy Eating Pyramid" from Nutrition Australia:
