Students, parents and teachers can use the PRC website and the new PRC student site to search the booklist by Challenge level, author, title, category, series or PRC ID number. Each book has a synopsis or short summary of the book's content to help students decide if the book might be of interest to them.
The PRC rules allow students to read "up" book lists beyond their current Challenge level, and also permit Year 5-6 and 7-10 students to read "down" one Challenge level. Parents, carers, and educators are encouraged to support students in selecting books that are both interesting and approachable for their individual reading preferences and maturity.
Books containing mature themes and more difficult language usually read by students in Years 9 and above are featured on the 9plus booklist. 9plus titles are restricted to students in Years 7 and above, reflecting the increased reading complexity and mature themes typically encountered in these titles.
Students can also use the Discover feature on the Student Experience site to find books on certain Challenge levels with a specific genre. Multiple options from both categories can be selected.
