Kerala schools introduce a new initiative to encourage students to develop strong reading habits. Under this program, students who actively participate in reading activities and complete recommended book lists receive grace marks in their examinations. The initiative also includes special reading sessions during school hours.
The state education department launches this scheme to promote a culture of reading among young learners. Teachers conduct regular reading circles, discussions, and storytelling activities to make reading enjoyable and interactive. Selected students also get opportunities to present book reviews and share insights with classmates.
According to officials, the program aims to improve language skills, creativity, and critical thinking. By rewarding reading habits, the department hopes to inspire students to spend more time with books rather than electronic gadgets.
