Books open the door to imagination, knowledge, and lifelong learning. To nurture these qualities, Chinmay International School, Karjan introduced a 20-minute daily Reading Session starting from 22 April 2025. This initiative is designed to cultivate reading habits, improve language proficiency, and enhance cognitive skills among students across all grades.
The program follows a structured approach — a daily reading slot, freedom of book selection, teacher supervision, and reflective sharing activities. These steps make the Reading Session a well-rounded practice that blends enjoyment with educational value.
A fixed 20-minute period is included in the timetable for all classes.
Students bring their own English storybook, chosen according to their age and interest, ensuring engagement and personal connection.
Periodic “Book Talk” and “Reading Reflection” sessions give students an opportunity to share their learning and practice comprehension.
The Daily Reading Session at Chinmay International School is more than just a timetable activity — it has created meaningful improvements in students’ academic and personal growth. By dedicating a consistent 20-minute reading slot each day, children are gradually building a foundation for lifelong learning.
Students now follow a structured routine that makes reading a natural part of their day, encouraging discipline and continuity.
Exposure to diverse storybooks helps students learn new words, improve sentence formation, and develop better understanding of texts.
The calm environment during reading time enhances independent learning skills, boosting attention span and patience.
At Chinmay International School, we emphasize joyful learning beyond textbooks. Initiatives like the Daily Reading Session align with CBSE’s focus on language enrichment, creativity, and holistic development. By promoting independent reading, we prepare students to be confident communicators and lifelong learners.
The Reading Session – Inculcating Reading Habits in Students is already proving to be a valuable step in shaping well-rounded individuals. With strong participation and enthusiastic responses, this initiative continues to nurture a love for books while strengthening language and cognitive skills.
At Chinmay International School, we remain committed to fostering habits that empower students for academic success and personal growth.
