A Reading Drive has been launched
on 18/02/2020 for the students of Classes 1 & 2 to build the cornerstones
of language learning –Listening, Speaking, Reading and Reading with
Comprehension.
20 Story Reading Cards @10 each in
Hindi and English have been uploaded on “edudel” website. These brightly
illustrated pictorial stories are being envisaged as the gateway to joyful reading. The Story
Cards are attractive and contain short story with pictures to develop
children’s literacy skills and to hold the attention span of the students.
Seven levels in Listening, Speaking
and Reading have been identified and each child will create his/her own roadmap
of being able to retell the stories, read them fluently and comprehend them.
The Story Cards in Hindi have been
created by Room to Read India Trust, which is working in collaboration with
Directorate of Education to enrich Library experiences of Primary Students of
DoE.
The Story Reading Cards in English have
been created in-house by DoE at Primary Branch with contribution in
illustrations and graphic designing by the teachers of DoE.
It is hoped that the storylines
will trigger the curiosity to read and by the end of March 2020, there will be
a remarkable progress in reading abilities in the students of classes 1 & 2.
