Books have the power to transport minds, spark imagination, and build knowledge that lasts a lifetime. At Dolphin Public School, we transform our library into a vibrant hub where reading becomes a joyful adventure, not just a task. This approach helps every child develop a genuine love for books, turning them into eager, lifelong readers who explore ideas independently.
Our library program is thoughtfully aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 focus on foundational literacy, creativity, and holistic development, as outlined in the official NEP 2020 document. It strengthens our commitment to excellence in CBSE education & pedagogy by making reading a core part of daily school life.
Why Building a Reading Habit Early is So Important
Starting young creates lasting benefits:
- Expands vocabulary and language skills naturally, as supported by research on early literacy exposure and vocabulary development through reading
- Boosts imagination, empathy, and emotional intelligence
- Improves focus, comprehension, and academic performance across subjects
- Fosters independence, critical thinking, and a passion for learning, with benefits highlighted in pleasure reading advantages
How We Make Our Library a Reading Paradise
We design our library and programs to make reading irresistible:
- Welcoming & Resource-Rich Space
Bright, comfortable seating, colorful displays, cozy corners, and a vast collection of age-appropriate books, magazines, comics, and digital resources. - Regular Reading Sessions
Daily story hours, guided reading groups, silent reading time, and themed book weeks to make reading a fun routine, promoting engagement as in read-aloud benefits. - Book Clubs & Discussions
Weekly clubs where students share thoughts, debate stories, and recommend books — building comprehension and social skills. - Author Visits & Workshops
Guest authors, storytelling sessions, and creative writing workshops to inspire young readers. - Family Involvement
Home reading programs, parent-child book events, and library access for families to extend the habit beyond school.
These initiatives connect beautifully with our language proficiency program and support balancing arts and science through creative, literature-based projects, complementing approaches in our arts and science integration blog.
