Benefits of reading

 

“A Book is a Dream That You Hold in Your Hand”

                    Reading is a very good habit that one needs to develop in life. Good books can inform you, enlighten you and lead you in the right direction. There is no better companion than a good book. Reading is important because it is good for your overall well-being. Once you start reading, you experience a whole new world. Reading develops language skills and vocabulary. Reading books is also a way to relax and reduce stress.

Benefits of reading:

1.      Reading is a step towards developing command over language and writing skills.

2.      Reading enhances vocabulary, creativity, critical thinking, imagination and expression.

3.      Reading creates the ability to express both verbally and in writing.

4.       Reading helps children to relate to their surroundings and real life situations.

5.      Reading benefit students to develop their skills through a process that is enjoyable and sustainable.

6.      Reading helps young learners in developing foundational literacy skills such as understanding and elucidate text.

    Stories help children to learn about new concepts, new ideas and open up the windows of their imagination. Thus, I urge everyone to come forward and work towards developing reading culture with joyful activities.

CBSE Reading Mission

 

About the CBSE Reading Mission

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes the importance of well-stocked school libraries and digital libraries to attain the goal of foundational literacy for all children by the year 2025. It recommends making quality children's literature available in all local languages to build a culture of reading across the country.

Stories and reading are an important part of a child’s growth and development. Reading encourages children to build vocabulary, derive connections between stories and their own lives, and understand how different people think about different things. Children who read are able to think more, are able to express themselves more freely, and become independent learners.

With this in mind, the Central Board of Secondary Education, in partnership with Pratham Books’ Story Weaver and supported by the Central Square Foundation, are delighted to announce the launch of the CBSE Reading Mission, aimed at introducing students to the joy of reading.

The Reading Mission is a two-year-long initiative, in which all CBSE schools can participate. Under the Reading Mission, CBSE schools and teachers will have access to a large repository of openly licensed high-quality children’s literature via the Pratham Books Reading Programme, available for free in English and Hindi on Story Weaver. The Reading Programme offers 144 beautifully illustrated multilingual age-appropriate storybooks that provide a rich reading experience to all children, cutting across geographic, economic, social and cultural divides. The books are organized grade-wise and thematically, and are accompanied by discussion ideas and activities that can be conducted online, in-classroom or at home.

Teachers will be rewarded with certificates on the completion of the Programme. Teachers can also share anecdotes of their students’ progress, to be celebrated as #ReadingHeroes through the course of the initiative. The Reading Mission will also support and empower teachers with training materials on conducting engaging virtual reading sessions and activities through periodic ‘Teacher Connect’ interactions where teachers can discuss best practices, showcase their work and share inputs on the programme design.

Come, join us in nurturing the next generation of readers and learners!
