The process of reading has always been a beneficial activity. It increases a child’s quest for knowledge, enhances confidence in them and is a great habit for all times. It is imperative that this habit be developed for a well-grounded education. To ensure that reading remains a priority. We have initiated a daily D. E. A. R (Drop Everything and Read) Programme. During a D. E. A. R session the whole school drops everything they are doing and takes pleasure in ungraded, recreational reading for 10 minutes. The activity is carried out during school hours.
