Hi Ms. Anjana,

The suggestions listed here are really good.

In addition I think a competition for class 5-7 for limited students (like the one who like to participate) in which you can give them different story books to read and then ask them to write a summary of what they have read. The best summary wins. Another is to make them write a story in the format where you give them a beginning and ask them to continue with a story of their own..this will increase their imagination and may even trigger their interest to read more..Apart from this keep Dictation competitions for the younger kids. The best way to enhance reading is to make them read out aloud and appreciate the ones who read the best..the others will get motivated.. And don't forget to gift them with some nice books from the "Scholastics" , if it fits your budget...they will certainly be waiting for this
reading week" exercise again the next year.

All the best !

Best Regards,

Pragya
