Reading Week was celebrated with great enthusiasm at Amrita Vidyalayam, Vatakara, in June  where students actively participated in a variety of engaging literacy activities designed to foster a love for reading and storytelling. The week-long celebration aimed to ignite the imagination of young minds and promote the importance of books in nurturing creativity, empathy, and knowledge.

One of the key highlights of the celebration was the book discussion sessions, where students explored a diverse selection of literature ranging from timeless classics to contemporary works. These discussions provided a platform for students to express their thoughts, share interpretations, and engage in meaningful conversations about characters, plots, and themes.

Equally captivating were the story-sharing sessions, during which students narrated their favorite stories or personal experiences, captivating their peers with expressive storytelling. This activity not only boosted their confidence in public speaking but also enhanced their listening and comprehension skills.

Adding a creative flair to the celebration, students also took part in a poster-making competition. Using vibrant colors and imaginative ideas, they designed posters that reflected the joy of reading and the power of books. Many posters carried inspiring slogans such as “Read to Lead,” “Books are a Treasure,” and “Open a Book, Open Your Mind,” which were later displayed throughout the school to spread the message of literacy and lifelong learning.

Overall, Reading Week at Amrita Vidyalayam, Vatakara, was a memorable and enriching experience. It successfully encouraged students to view reading not just as an academic task, but as a gateway to discovery, creativity, and personal growth.
