Get Kids into Reading with BookBite Subscription

We would like to bring to attention a new initiative in India called BookBite, which we believe will have a significant positive impact on children’s interest in reading. This is not operated from within the school, but we do endorse it and encourage all parents and guardians to consider taking out a subscription for their children.

Please note that we cannot guarantee the workshops and visitors associated with the BookBite+ and BookBite Engage subscriptions due to our location and the fact that this is a new initiative. However, the more students subscribe, the more likely it is that we will be able to arrange such programmes. The boxes themselves, even without the workshops, seem very worthwhile to us.

See the choice of subscriptions below, and click here to contact the BookBite team directly.

Scholastic Book Fair

On 23rd and 24th November, representatives from Scholastic came and held a Book Fair at our school. This is an annual event and a great chance for all the children to get inspired about reading. Children from Class I to Class X enjoyed browsing and selecting books ranging from puzzles and activities to entertaining fiction and fascinating non-fiction. Ten Class IX volunteers were on hand to guide the younger ones. Special thanks go to Miss Jenny and Sir Jehova for making the book fair a success. We look forward to Scholastic visiting us again next year!

Exciting New Tools for Teaching

KGI to Class I and beyond will soon be putting some exciting new tools to use in their classrooms. We have recently invested in a range of innovative resources from Grolier, designed to improve young children’s reasoning skills and spoken English.

Rohini Balraj, Mizoram’s new regional sales manager and education consultant for Grolier, kindly visited the school and spent an afternoon with the teachers and assistants, helping them to familiarise themselves with the resources. Among other tools, these include Logico Primo boards which are tactile tools for developing problem-solving ability, and Talking English books, which can be read aloud using an interactive pen.

We are excited to start using these resources amongst our youngest children, to give them a great start in their educational journey. We are also proud to be leading the way among schools in Mizoram, always seeking to provide the most up-to-date resources suitable for our local context.
