Developing Reading Habits In Students ~ #DecemberDelights

Hola people! A very Merry Christmas in advance to all! 🎅




Holiday season is fast approaching and December promises a whole lot of festive fun with Christmas and New Year celebrations happening at the same. There is no better time than the present to start planning for the upcoming holiday season.

Coming to the blog, I really have no idea when I inculcated the habit of reading. One day randomly I visited my school library, picked up a book of Enid Blyton and started reading it. Though the period was of only 30 mins, but those 30 mins turned my world upside down. I daily spent 1 hour there in library and started reading random books and finally got addicted to it. I have now my own bookshelf with lots and lots and lots of books! 😏

I have no clues that how one can develop habit in a person. But here's my take on it.




"Training a baby by the book is a good idea, only you need a different book for each baby".
                                                                                                                ~ Dan Bennet




Books play a very important part in our life. They act as the guides who guide us, inspire us, warn us and keep us on the right path. A book is a permanent companion and a good book inspires us to noble actions. But the strange thing is that our present generation has not developed its reading habits. Some have the idea that the library is a storehouse of storybooks; some think that when everything is available on the Internet, why go to the library and waste time? But friends, is there any joy, any pleasure in searching for information on the internet?

To be a lover of books, though not a bookworm, is a good thing. Teachers and parents have to be co-sponsors and co-educators in this very vital area of nurturing reading habits among school going children. The primary is the stage when the child is keen and interested to know more about the environment around him. Therefore, we have to create reading habits among children from childhood only.

Book exhibitions play an important role in furnishing several information regarding books, their quality etc. Whenever you want to give some reward for good things done, it should be in the form of a book. This not only reminds him of his achievements, but that particular book becomes his valuable gift for life. In short, if we give the right book to the right reader at the right time, it will change his life forever.

In the end, I would like to quote from Mann ~ "A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books". 

Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love for knowledge comes with reading and grows with it.

  5. Well said and I agree with you completely. A reading habit must be inculcated in a child from the youngest possible age. And children should also see their parents reading- that helps!

  8. How many times have you wondered if there was an easier way to get cash back on your purchases? Maybe you are wondering how you would get all the things done on your daily to-do list, maybe that’s why you’re reading this article. Fortunately, there are a few ways to make this happen and make it easy for you to get cash back near me on things you already buy, such as groceries and gas.

Review of the Last Book I have read - "Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhar" #TheBookBlogTrain

There are some books that you instantly want to read as soon as you come across them. The reason might be the cover of the book, the title or something else. The same happened to me when I came across this book and I do not know the reason behind it. These sudden urge of reading a book are often risky because you can pick up a wrong book in this and regret it later. However, the adventure and risk are worth trying because you will learn how to choose books for reading. About the book, it's a story of 3 different people who accidentally meet each other in Dhauladhar. It all starts with the commencement of a hydro-electric project in the remote Himalayas. Nanda, Khusru and Rekha are the main characters. They all have a secret past which discreetly, they hide it from everyone. The book has a rich diversity; diversity in emotions and diversity in backgrounds. The story is not based on something stagnant. It is a story of Nanda from Kerala who is currently working in the Hima...

Monsoon Cravings ~ Rain Special Blog #BirthdayBlogTrain

Monsoon is one such season which is loved by everyone. Fresh air, breezy days, cloudy skies and muddy aroma. And as the dark clouds roll in, we got some enormous cravings as well. So, lets relish some delicious delicacies from kitchens across the country which are loved by everyone... Kachori-Jalebi Deep-fried, carbs...the kachori and jalebi are guilty on all counts. The kachori filling varies - onion, green peas, a spicy lentil or potato mix are some favourites in North India. And the jalebi - a fried syrupy snack - hot and crispy from kadhai, is a perfect ending to kachori indulgence. Bhutta   Monsoons are incomplete without getting caught in the rain and relishing some charcoal roasted bhutta with a drizzle of salt and lime. The crunch of that will make the perfect and comfortable setting on windy and rainy days. Garam adrak chai Nothing is more typically monsoon than rain soaked hair and kadak ch...
