"Today’s readers are tomorrow’s leader"
As
per EDC meeting guidelines, on 29thAugust, 2014 TCV School, Chauntra class VII
English book fair was organized in the school Loter hall from morning 9:00 a.m.
till 4:00 p.m. in the evening. Subject
teachers have motivated the students to read books from the very beginning of
the session and also worked hard to explain the insight and various approaches
of competent reading. Teachers have given enough practice on both oral and
writing book review.
The
program not only endows our students to expand reading habit but it also lays
an open platform for developing various significant linguistic skills; such as
thinking skill, comprehension skill, communication skill and listening skill
etc.
Every
class VII student have read a story book of their choice within the month and
with  a predefined format they prepared a well defined book review and they
stuck it behind their chair on that day. Subject teachers along with some
students of class VII had shaped a suitable atmosphere with well planned
decoration
and seating arrangement so to motivate as well as to make them feel the
significance of the program. Some video songs with the theme and message of
importance of reading in one’s life have been arranged and shown at the last
ten minutes of each period for every class and they loved it.
Students
of class V to X were given opportunity to listen to and interact with the
students of class VII. The interaction includes:

flourishing programs we had initiated. Students appreciated it and took this
sophisticated strategy very serious; hence, we must definitely go on with it in
the days to come and try to give it a new shape and color so to keep their
anticipation at the same level.
