It's a pleasure?

Reading before  school begins

Brighter Future Primary School ( decorated by the children).

Our Indian children learn to read at school but they rarely read for pleasure. As an ex teacher I am very keen that they should regard books as a pleasurable experience, as a source of information, as a link to improving all their studies.

Last year Brighter Future bought lots of colourful story books in Telugu from a specialist educational printers in Hyderabad. Such books are usually only available in English, for children who go to private schools which teach through the medium of English.

           We chose books for all educational levels. From little books with only one or two words on a page to 'classical' stories like Aesop's Fables, Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde and The Little Match Girl. All written in Telugu. Some in both English and Telugu, the language of the state of Andhra Pradesh’s 90 million inhabitants.

When I am staying in India the Prem Nivas Primary School children read books before school starts .Outside when it is fine, in class when it rains.

Little books for little children.


Very little children "pretend" read or look at  pictures.

When morning school has finished, and before lunch is ready, the children play with educational toys and games.
