Reading Challenge
Reading Literacy is a prerequisite for comprehension in all subject areas within the educational system. lt is also essential for functional social interaction and communication. National Education Policy 2020 and Padhe Bharat, Badhe Bharat initiative highlight the requirement for foundational reading skills to enable children to become “motivated, independent and engaged readers”.
After the Covid 19 hit online learning period, many students are found lacking in the basic reading skills which demands immediate attention for rectification.
With emphasis on promoting Reading Literacy among students, Kendriya Vidyalayas under KVS RO Ranchi Region organized Summer Reading Challenge – 2023 for classes 6th to loth and 12th in which the students will be provided with impetus to read the Supplementary text book / Main Course Book in English of their respective classes (as the first phase) with comprehension. It helped the students to construct meaning by retrieving, interpreting and integrating information, draw inferences, reflect and critically analyze and evaluate the text and thus to create their own knowledge and socially beneficial and acceptable principles.
