A love of reading can protect your brain from Alzheimer’s disease, slash stress levels, encourage positive thinking, and fortify friendships. To have our young children nourished with the same reasons G.D. Goenka World School, Sohna organized a PYP read-a-thon for its young PYP readers on 14th October 2014.
The young children got their favorite books from home for the same event. These books varied across genres ranging- classics, myths & legends, fiction & non-fiction. Then the entire PYP got together in the ‘Butterfly Park’ where they sat in groups & read their books with their friends.
The aim of the programme was to encourage every student to read for pleasure. No limits were set on what students should read, but to make them realize that reading could be fun. The very successful event made children long for more such events in future.
