SCHOOL,BALRAMPUR Bibliophile week- 22/04/024 to 27/04/024
INVITATION.
As we know, reading habits increase our vocabulary and knowledge. It is the
habit of reading alone that helps us articulates what we want to say or express. By reading & listening to books, we acquire knowledge, which makes us talk more and think differently, which in turn helps us form relationships with others. Reading is a brainstorming exercise. It compels us to think, it gives birth to thoughts. It is a way to understand the world around us. By reading books, we discover facts and information. It is literature; sometimes it may be a novel, plays, short stories, poems, fiction, biography or write-ups shapes our personality, our way of thinking, and our expression. This habit makes us ready for or prepares us to face the challenges of this changing world. It is very imperative to develop reading habits from the very beginning of our studies. Our behaviour, our attitude, our confidence, and our style all need exposure and grooming. It comes when we remain in touch with books or literature. By reading, we start respecting our literature, culture, heritage, customs, traditions, and people. We come to understand other people's characters, feelings, and understandings. We acquire experience and exposure. The habit improves our self-discipline and consistency, and this habit allows us to develop a perspective. As a result of knowing our glorious past and history through reading, we have a distinct personality, which is what makes us who we are. It helps in grooming our personality and sense of humour, which is very significant. It inspires and reduces stress. It helps in revealing the world. Reading literature broadens our vision. Keeping all things in mind, we are going to motivate our children by celebrating Bibliophile Week, which starts from 22/04/024. In the coming week, we will appreciate the reading habits of our students. We will showcase their talent for telling stories, fiction, explanations, narrations, and descriptions. Every day, we would like to showcase new skills in reading. It is all done for our children’s brain-storming and personality grooming, to bring them back from the internet to the world of books and literature. This week is to pay tribute to one of the best literary giants, William Shakespeare. Bibliophile week at Xavier’s can also be called a celebration of books in our lives. -INVITATION-
