\u201cThere is no friend as loyal as a book\u201d. To highlight the importance of reading to our budding nation DPS GBN organized a special week\u00a0Book Week- Readathon<\/strong>\u00a0for grade 1 and 2 from May 7, 2024 to May 9, 2024.<\/p>\n

On the first day, we celebrated birthday to commemorate the eminent Bengali Poet \u2018Sri Rabindranath Tagore\u2019 and telling children about his life, journey, influential writings and literacy contribution in English. On next day of Book Week- Readathon, different story books were given to children to nurture the habit of reading, oratory abilities and critical writings. The week concluded with designing of a book review form for the story they pleased reading. It provided hands-on experiences which resulted in reading and writing proficiency of the children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
