Parents and teachers of SNEH International School attended a workshop and a demonstration on “combatting the screen and encouraging reading in early childhood”. The workshop conducted by experts was very informative, interactive and interesting too.

It was pointed out that reading of books unleashes the imagination of the child and rightly stimulates the mind in the formative years. This is a scientifically proven fact. “Children are hungry for knowledge” said the expert. The adults around them may neither have the quality time nor the knowledge to satisfy this hunger fully. This leads to many unanswered questions and gradually the lack of stimulation affects the development of their early intelligence. To be able to have all the answers to the innumerable queries, a child must be guided to the treasure trove of books. School does this and so must the parents as a child spends more time at home.
