Mendrelgang Middle Secondary School observed a week long Reading Week from 1st to 8th September 2014 withthe theme, “Read for a healthier society.” It was organized by the school Literary Co-ordinators. The objective of the programme was to highlight on the importance of reading and to promote reading culture in the school.

The literary coordinator later briefed on the activities designed for the week. Posters and banners on the themes identified were displayed in the school.

A fun and instructive week of reading activities were presented during the week. All class teachers helped to prepare and present a wide variety of activities to observe the reading week:  model reading was organized in which volunteer languageteachers (both Dzongkha and English), andfew selected students enthusiastically participated during the morning assembly. The model readers read exciting articles so as to encourage and motivate students to read more.

The week was also marked by Zero period after the normal 7th period during which students practised silent reading in their respective class monitored by the class teachers. The non-class teachers and the supporting staff of the school also spent the zero period by reading books in the school library.  Various genres of books ranging from fictions, newspaper to fairy tales were selected as reading materials during the reading classes. The class looked lively with the reading corner filled with different articles, posters and slogans related to the theme.

To make the reading week more interesting and memorable, the students from various grades participated in poster competition on the theme, "Read to travel the world". On Friday, a BOOK REVIEW contest was held.  All the students were engaged in writing a review on a book they had read during the week. The most awaiting and exciting program for the reading week was the class wall magazine competition which was displayed in their creative ways in the school MPH: hall looked beautiful decorated with reading posters and banners, articles and other creative materials designed by the students to highlight the reading theme.
