School Education - Foundational Reading Literacy Programme - “WE LOVE READING” - Improving Reading Practices among School children Time bound action plan - Guidelines

Issued.

 

O R D E R:

 

One of the main aims of Education is holistic development of a student's personality. Schools are providing learning opportunities to students to improve their learning skills. Reading is one of the major focused learning skills in the education system. In addition, reading can be a fun and imaginative time for children, which opens doors to all kinds of new worlds for them. Reading skills have a profound influence on the development of their cognitive skills. It is reported that students are unable to read and comprehend in a proper way. It affects their future learning. According to ASER data,

77.6% of 3rd Grade and 52.2% of 5th Grade students are not able to read even Grade 2 level text book. 78.9% of 3rdGrade students are not able to read even Std. I level text. Data reveals how the reading levels of students of government schools have deteriorated over time. On top of the deteriorating levels of reading that students exhibit, there is also a large   focus   on   mere   reproducing   of   concepts   in   exams   without   reading   and

understanding. A lack of strong reading comprehension skills definitely affects a child’s success at school as academic progress depends on understanding, analysing and applying information gathered through reading.

 

2.      Reading helps students to develop better critical and analytical skills and cultivates confidence and creativity among students. Government felt that the ability to read with comprehension is a necessary foundation and an indispensable prerequisite for all future schooling and lifelong learning. The habit of reading can best be inculcated and nurtured at the early stage of a student's life and there is dire necessity to have a time bound action plan. In this gigantic task, all the stakeholders including parents, community and civil society organizations should actively be involved. HMs and Teachers should play a key role in the entire programme.

 

3.       After careful examination of the proposal of the Director of School Education in the reference read above, Government hereby decided to launch a one year Reading Fluency campaign from 14th  November 2020 to 14th November 2021 with a tagline of WE LOVE READING” to improve the reading skills of children from classes 3 to 9 and to institutionalize these interventions in the system to ensure sustained improvement among

the students in the long run. The following guidelines are hereby issued for strict compliance:
