Reading in English Program in School

We launched the Reading in English Program on 25 April (in conjunction with World Book Day). The objectives were
* to instill and drive the reading habit amongst teachers and pupils alike,
*to allow English teachers to act as reading models / to select reading models amongst students,
*to allow students to extend their abilities to
-value reading as means of learning and enjoyment
-read for a variety of purposes
-read a range of contemporary and classical texts appropriate to their interests and learning needs,
-read text from a variety of genres and cultural traditions,
-read independently.

Proposed Activities:
1. Selection of Readers of the Month/Year
2. Inter-Class Competitions (Book Talks, Book Reports, etc)
3. In-Class activities (SSR, Choral Reading, Reading in Pairs, and other Reader Response Strategies)
4. Quizzes on books and authorship
