Activity: Kitchen Library
Reading Promotion Week – Library Activity

Under Reading Promotion Week 3, the library conducted an innovative activity titled “Kitchen Library” to connect reading skills with daily life experiences.

In this activity, students brought empty food packet wrappers used in their kitchen. The wrappers were pasted on sheets and carefully observed by the students. They read and understood the ingredients list, colour symbols, labels, and difficult words printed on the packets.

Students learned to identify natural and artificial colours, understand food safety symbols, and differentiate between healthy and unhealthy food items. They were also guided to read important label information such as nutritional value, manufacturing date, expiry date, and instructions for use.

This activity helped students improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, and awareness about healthy eating habits. The Kitchen Library activity successfully showed students that reading and learning can take place even through everyday household materials.

 Activity: CWPM (Correct Words Per Minute)
 Reading Promotion Week – Library Activity

As part of Reading Promotion Week, the school library organized the CWPM (Correct Words Per Minute) activity to strengthen students’ reading fluency and accuracy.

During the activity, students were given a graded reading passage from library books. Each student read aloud for a fixed time while the teacher recorded the number of correctly read words per minute. Emphasis was given to correct pronunciation, pace, and clarity while reading.

The CWPM activity helped in identifying students’ reading levels and improving their speed, confidence, and comprehension skills. Regular practice through CWPM encourages students to become fluent readers and supports overall academic achievement.

The activity was conducted successfully with active participation from students and proved to be an effective tool in promoting structured reading habits through the library.
