Reading Awareness Week


Reading Awareness Week

19th -23rd November, 12


 Advancing your child’s passion for reading is a gift that they will redeem for their entire life.
Therefore it is all the more important to start nurturing the passion for reading at an early age.
By the age of one, most children have an innate love of books. They respond to the colors contained in the pictures, get pleasure from turning the pages and develop vocabulary, based on the words they hear from the pages of a book.
Children look forward to the entertainment and socialization gained from listening to a story, either one-on-one or at a story time session in a library. Therefore a Story Time Corner was set up in the school to further their passion. Class I students, in collaboration with their teachers, presented the age old stories laden with visual content and morals for the young minds. The teachers read out their favorite tales and asked them to anticipate the following things, while they read the book: “What's was going on in the book? Who is the main character and how is he or she like or different from you? Is the story unfurling the way you thought it would? What do you think will happen next?”
The passion for reading begins to fade as it becomes a foundational skill needed to master all subject matters in school.  So in an effort to further proficiency, all students were advised to make it a nightly mandatory assignment.
Class II students put their imaginative minds to test with story writing and prepared wonderful and colorful booklets bearing the mark of young impressionable and flexible minds.
Class III students wrote Book Reviews after they had read the book of their choice. They were provided with Review sheets which clearly stated the areas they were supposed to touch upon and they did a splendid job.
A passion for reading needs to be nurtured throughout a child’s years of formal education; helping the emergent reader to gain the confidence to read out loud is vital. To cater to this aspect Elocution was conducted by Class V students, which not only showcased their talent but also provided an insight in to ongoing multi faceted activities at Askari X, which in turn enhance student learning. A Mushaira also helped parents and students alike relive the golden era of Urdu poetry and class IV students received a lot of applause for their awesome performance.
 To encourage the middle school and high school student to read for “fun and entertainment” a dramatic rendering of Allama Iqbal’s poem was presented by class IV students.
Reading ignites the imagination and inspires learning the basic tools for success in school. It improves child development, leading to better grades and higher graduation rates. Reading Awareness Week provided the students the perfect time to ignite that passion for reading.
