Reading has at
all times and in all ages been a great source of knowledge. Today the ability
to read is highly valued and very important for
social and economic advancement. In today’s world with so much more to know and
to learn and also the need for a conscious effort to conquer the divisive forces, the importance of reading has
increased. In the olden days if reading was not cultivated or encouraged, there
was a substitute for it in the religious sermon and in the oral tradition. In
the nineteenth century, Victorian households used to get together for an hour
or so in the evenings and listen to books being read aloud, But ,today we not
only read, we also want to read more and more and catch up with the events taking place around us.
Reading has
several advantages, therefore D.E.A.R. ( Drop everything and read) activity was
held at WIS, Atun Road, Bhilwara on Friday, April 28,2017. Students brought
their favourite books for the activity. It was an amazing session where all the
students and teachers had pleasure reading for 20 minutes.
