One Nation Reading Together — 29th November

Books can become our best friend and enrich us with knowledge and pleasure. Our vocabulary increases as we glean the meaning of new words. Spellings improve with added familiarity with the written word. We at Oakridge continuously encourage the children to read, read and read.

With the primary objective of honing learners’ reading skills, Scholastic India held a ‘One Nation Reading Together’ programme. We, the junior school, will be proudly participating in this event. We have nominated and received the pledge written by a famous multitalented poet Gulzar.

 One Nation Reading Together is an annual event initiated by Scholastic India, where children in schools across the country will spend 30 minutes on Friday, 29^th November 2013 reading for fun, and doing other activities that celebrate reading as a pleasurable and enriching experience.
