Graded Readers In SSBHS Std. 6 and STGPS Std. 3
We had lot of fun in SSBHS std. 7 and STGPS std.3. How? Why? It was Graded Readers week! As I said, there was so much fun in the classes! To begin with, I wrote a song on the board. “I like books” was the song for this session. I like books, you like books, […]
LiS-ten to a story! LiS-ten to a song!
(Posted by Nagappa Lamani) ‘I know an old lady who swallowed a fly, I don’t know why she swallowed a fly, perhaps she’ll die’. The notes and the tunes of guitar went so smoothly that there was complete peace in the classroom. Initially, they were all very quiet and listening to the song and the […]

Of late, and quite by chance, I’ve been doing a number of books that in some way or the other brought in the component of ‘dreams’. Antonio’s Lucky Day, A Letter for Amy, Across the Stream, are some of the books that have made dreams the focus of discussion at many different times and in […]
