READ-A-THON


“The more you read the more you will know, the more you learn, the more places you’ll go.”  -- This seemingly short but immensely powerful quote by Dr. Sues is not merely a cliché, but blows the cobwebs away.
Readathon happens once every year, and as always, we read to teachers, parents, kids, and many more people to collect money for the under privileged. This time around, relating to our History unit ‘Division & Inclusion- ‘Them and Us’ the money we collected will be going to a Partition Museum being set up in Amritsar. Reading is the best habit a person can develop said- R.L. Stine. Reading has allowed us to benefit in a way, as we read we gain more knowledge and our imagination, vocabulary, style of writing and brain develops. Readathon was like shooting two targets with one arrow and gathering money in the end. This time Readathon was unique and interesting. We started out by a session with our teacher who told about Readathon and why it happens, followed by a session where we read oaths. Every day, we would have a lesson substituted for book reading with the cozy cushions beside us. We even have made a class board full of Readathon quotes and recommendation of books by our peers. We also created a reading log which has been fixed on the board. This Readathon has been huge and everyone dwelled just fine.
