Our DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) programme ,that is conducted regularly, offers students much more than a simple reading session. It provides a structured opportunity for teachers to engage with each student, monitor their progress, and tailor instruction to their needs. More importantly, it allows students to choose books they enjoy, share their reading experiences, and receive guidance for further literary exploration and reflection.
Each weekly reading session lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, followed by a 10-minute period for students to write in their reading response logs. Upon completing a book, students participate in a one-on-one conference with their teacher to discuss the book and reflect on their reading journey.
