At Anand Niketan Shilaj, we believe that reading is the foundation of lifelong learning. Our DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) initiative is designed to cultivate a deep love for books and storytelling among students, encouraging them to engage with literature beyond the classroom.

During DEAR sessions, Students pause their routine activities to immerse themselves in reading. This dedicated time fosters concentration, imagination, and comprehension skills while promoting independent learning. By making reading a daily habit, we aim to enhance language proficiency, creativity, and critical thinking in our students.

Our reading program is carefully integrated into the curriculum, ensuring that students explore a diverse range of genres, themes, and cultures. Through interactive storytelling, book discussions, and guided reading sessions, children develop curiosity, empathy, and a lifelong appreciation for literature.

With DEAR, we inspire young minds to see books not just as sources of knowledge but as gateways to new worlds, ideas, and endless possibilities.
