Children’s storybooks

At the beginning of the school year, the Department of Education provided every Prep student attending a Victorian Government school with a red Prep bag. The items inside are designed to help Prep students and families thrive from the start of Term 1.

This survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete.

Your feedback helps us learn what you liked and how we can improve future Prep bags.

This year’s Prep bags included 5 children’s books to help build literacy skills and encourage a love of reading:

·       Bedtime Sorted! by Jimmy Rees
·       Stellarphant by James Foley
·       The Biscuit Maker by Sue Lawson
·       The Two-Hearted Numbat by Ambelin and Ezekiel Kwaymullina
·       What Colour is the Sea? by Katie Stewart
