Inculcated the reading habit among the students and also in the teachers by
insisting on reading books in the school library and conducting sessions on
book reviews. The culture of giving books to the students as presentations
/prizes/gifts is being practiced. To facilitate the use of school library, the
students themselves arranged the books subject wise and graded as per the
class level. Students are made to place the book after reading in the same
place. This act has developed the sense of responsibility and knowledge on
arrangement of books in the library. The choice and taste of the students were
considered for procurement of library books. Introduced ‘one-minute talk’ in
the school assembly in Telugu, Hindi and English by the students on any
general issues, about the contributions of national leaders, social reformers,

scientists. This intervention helped the children in improving reading and
writing skills.

Efforts are being made to maximize the participation of the students in co-
curricular activities by motivating them with a slogan “we can do”. Conducting
competitions in literary programmes such as in moral storytelling, poetry
writing, speech, essay writing, quiz, drawing, and in number games. Teach
according to the abilities of the learners, i.e., teach at the right level is the
strategy adopted in the classroom, teaching is paying dividends. The students
are exposed to science labs and digital content has helped to enhance their
learning. Students are made to reflect on the contemporary issues reported in
the daily News, where the power of analytical thinking and reasoning is being
developed. Teachers and students are made aware of Time Management skills
by prioritizing the tasks which are urgent and important.
