Reporting technical issues

Before reporting difficulties as technical issues, users are requested to familiarise themselves with the online system and to check with local technicians that settings or firewalls are not preventing access. Technical issues with the online system should be reported to readingchallenge@edumail.vic.gov.au.  Emails should specify the action or task being attempted and the problem experienced. Details of any error message received should also be included.  Emails usually receive a response on the same or next business day.

Have you read this?

cover of Off to War Off to War

by Deborah Ellis

War is hell, and not just for the soldiers who go off to fight it. Off to War interviews 40 children, all of whom have family serving in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Why I love reading…

I like reading because it helps me to write stories. I like books that are funny. I like reading with my buddy because they use the pictures to make up their own stories.
