Reading Challenge




Reading Challenge!!!!

PYP students accepted a challenge to read 1500 books over a 6 week period (from Sept 17th to Oct 27th) and I am proud to say, we have far surpassed it, infact doubled it and with good measure at 3, 287 book :) This exercise has given us a snapshot of the amount of reading being done in PYP and opened our eyes to the voracious appetitie for books at Indus PYP.
For the higher grades 3-5, book reviews written for books read were counted. Students of these grades have in fact, read more more books that they have not written reviews for. These book reviews are evidence of the students' understanding and their reflections on literature, and one can safely conclude that our students are marching towards improved inferential reading through these consistent practices. For the younger grades, it is heartening to see the large number of books are being read to our little ones, starting in Reception.

Grade 4A,B,C and D with a total of 78 students wrote 413 book reviews in 6 weeks, apart from other books read for the love of reading!!!
Congratulations Grade 4! Well Done!!
