This International Literacy Day, Pratham Books has taken a 1000 steps towards a 'Reading India'
What started as a small step by Pratham Books to spread the joy of reading has become a movement. Last year Pratham Books initiated the One Day-One Story initiative on the occasion of International Literacy Day and we conducted over 250 storytelling sessions. This year we are delighted that over a 1000 sessions are happening across the length and breadth of the country.We will be sharing the stories of all our champions through our blog.
2 storytelling sessions conducted on 7th September, 2013. Location : Bangalore
Good Neighbors India has celebrated international literacy day on 7th Septembert at 2 government schools at Chickjala. We told about the objective of story telling and importance of literacy. Teachers narrated the story of Paplu the giant for children at the age of 8 to 10 years. Teachers taught with action, voice modulations and also showing pictures of Paplu. Children were curiously listening and asking questions related to Paplu. All the children were very happy and respond well. We would like to say thank on behalf of GNI and children for helping us to celebrate literacy day.
Thank you Meena, Good Neighbours India and Indian Development Foundation for spreading the joy of reading!
