READATHON CAMPAIGN 2021-22

“Books give soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. SKIPS conducts READATHON CAMPAIGN every year to promote and inculcate reading habits in young children. This year too we had enthusiastic participation from all our Samites. Various activities like Read aloud, Story sessions, Dress up etc were conducted as part of the READATHON campaign. We celebrated the Readathon winding up on February 4th with a story session in which the teacher dressed up as the main story character and narrated the story to our little readers. This was followed by book mark making activity. As part of the Readathon winding up, we also conducted a costume party during the live session. The children were dressed up as the favourite character from the story they have read and spoke about the character. These activities have indeed helped our little Samites to develop a love for reading which will pave way for expanding their understanding and knowledge about the world.
