Dear Friends,<br><br>School libraries to get popular <br><br><span style="text-align: justify;"><font>Your 
school library may now be stocked up with the latest from the printed world. </font></span><font><span style="text-align: justify;">The 
Central Board of Sec</span><span id="Ar0040602" style="text-align: justify;">ondary Education (CBSE) 
plans to introduce a reading project for upper-primary and secondary classes 
very soon. This calls for upgrading school library allocating a 
reason</span><span id="Ar0040603" style="text-align: justify;">able sum of the annual 
budget for buying books, CDs and reference material. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Children 
should be encouraged to visit the library whenever they want and a number of 
notices put up to encourage children to read books and inform them on books 
available in the library. </span><span id="Ar0040604" style="text-align: justify;">Vocabulary-building games 
can be a part of the collection. </span><span id="Ar0040605" style="text-align: justify;"></span><br><span style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-size: 16px; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman;"><br></b>Teachers can give students books of one genre which can be read 
by the whole class. The books under this project </span><span id="Ar0040606" style="text-align: justify;">should not be taught in 
class but introduced through activities. “It should be left to students to read 
at their own pace. Teachers may, however, choose to assess </span><span id="Ar0040607" style="text-align: justify;">a child’s 
progress in reading the book by asking for verbal or written progress reports, 
looking at the diary entries of students, engaging in a discussion about the 
book, giving a short quiz or a worksheet about the book/ short story,” the board 
said. </span><br><br>Source: <a href="http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Daily/skins/TOINEW/navigator.asp?Daily=TOIBG&amp;showST=true&amp;login=default&amp;pub=TOI&amp;AW=1260454694000">http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Daily/skins/TOINEW/navigator.asp?Daily=TOIBG&amp;showST=true&amp;login=default&amp;pub=TOI&amp;AW=1260454694000</a><br>
