8 x books from the PRC booklist, and
4 x books of your own choosing (which may or may not be on the PRC booklists)

3. Fill out your Student Reading Record as you go
Get an adult (parent/carer, librarian, school teacher,etc) to sign each one to verify that you read the book.

Hand the form in to your school’s PRC Coordinator by the due date – please check this date with your PRC coordinator, as they may elect to make the finishing date earlier to allow all students to get their awards on time.
