Reading Club






Summer Vacations- time to have fun and get bored. To drive away the boredom blues Tejal’s Creative Writing Classes conducted a Reading Club. The idea was to create a reading habit amongst the children so that they don’t wile away their leisure in front of the idiot box. Everyday a new author was introduced like Elizabeth Dami, Judy Blume, E. B. White, Rick Riordan, Jeff Kinney and Richmal Crompton. After reading an excerpt from books like Geronimo Stilton, Fudge-A-Mania, Just William and Percy Jackson; the children were given a chance to don their acting hats and showcase their acting skills. They became the characters of the book and expressed its feelings perfectly!

This hilarious session was followed by worksheets, creating posters and playing games.

The last session had a 10 minute prize distribution where the child who garnered the most points was awarded and the others received consolation prizes so everyone was a winner.

It was a 1st attempt at a Reading Club by Tejal Mehta’s Creative Writing Classes. It was a pleasant surprise that the children and we too thoroughly had a blast conducting it!

Live Action straight from Fudge-a-mania!!
