In order to develop the habit of reading additional books in students at a young age i.e. pre-primary and primary level, it is necessary to first provide children's books according to their age and interests.

It has not been long since the honorable officer studying in UKG started reading children's books like this . Besides, not only Sammani, most of the students in the class have been reading children's books in this way by reading letters and numbers. Shashank Khadka, who studies in the same class, reads like his elders without breaking the bank.
It has been more than a decade since we started teaching Nepali language children's story books to the students of LKG and UKG on 'Book Free Friday' i.e. on Fridays to develop reading culture. Also, not only Nepali, but also English language children's story books are easily provided by the school.
is not only that, the same kind of children's book according to the size distributed in class is also allowed to be taken home by the school . Likewise, the school has been asking the students who have learned to read Kanikuthi books and read colorful children's story books every Friday to facilitate their parents at home during their free time on Saturdays. Similarly, to make the classes conducted on Fridays more effective and to instill interest in books among young students, the school has also requested mothers to read the 'Nari' monthly published by Kantipur Publications regularly from this academic session.
What's even more interesting is that in the social media group created by the school, some parents have kept the audio video of their children reading at home, while some students are learning to read by watching the audio video of their friends reading. In the first phase, the school management committee has made 50 mothers regular readers of Nari Monthly as part of an unannounced campaign conducted by the school with the aim of 'Parents also read'.
We teachers have also been telling the parents that when the children sit at home to do their homework, the parents also have a positive effect on the children when the 'woman' monthly or reading a book is sitting next to them. Also, all of us teachers have been personally reading "Teacher" monthly, "Nari" and other additional books on a regular basis .
Also, we teachers and parents have been hearing for a long time that the majority of students studying in private schools are weak in Nepali subjects. Even so, academicians have also been of the opinion that the reading culture cannot be developed in students only with the lessons of the textbooks prepared in class. Moreover, most of the teachers do not have the habit of reading extra newspapers and books regularly, but it seems that the habit of not reading the books of the teachers has been transferred to the students . Due to these and some other reasons, reading culture has not been developed properly among students.
The majority of teachers seem to be ignorant of the fact that the passive teaching learning of some subjects included in school education, especially Nepali and English languages, also serves as a bridge for the lively learning. Recently, some established private schools have been providing library facilities only after they have reached the 6th/7th grade rather than the pre-university level, and such schools are not found to keep books according to the age and interest of the students . Despite this, the reading culture among students has reached a declining state. Even if there is a
, our teaching and learning has not become lively and effective due to the lack of basic knowledge that an organized and lively library also plays an important role in the teaching and learning of students . Keeping these and such things in mind, "Shikhak" monthly has published content on what can be done to make the library lively and effective in its June issue.
In the material written by children's writer and author Anant Wagley, he quotes what Laura Bush, an educator and student of library science and the first lady of the United States from 2001 to 2009, had to say about libraries. According to Bush, ``libraries encourage children to ask questions about the world and seek answers, and once students use the library, the door to learning remains open to them.''
What happens when you eat, what you eat when you eat, what is young, what is old - Recently, as everyone's easy access to information technology has started to increase, every now and then the culture that is forgotten in social networks has been thrown. Due to this, the development of reading culture among students has reached the bottom.
It is necessary for schools to develop the habit of reading extra books in students at a young age, i.e. at the pre-primary and pre-primary levels, first of all, it is necessary to provide children's books according to their age and interests. Therefore, not only in school, it is necessary to encourage the development of reading culture in children.
Although children's books according to age and interest are not widely available, the task of developing reading culture among students has become more difficult. I have been experiencing such a problem for a long time. Overall, it is important for school management and teachers to be sensitive about the all-round benefits of developing a reading culture in students.
