No. of children Impacted
On the first day of our program, we interacted with 64 students. Most of the students were aware of Kitaab club and have attended the Camp of last year. On the second day of our session number of students increases by 6. Everyday some new faces were seen. Finally we have interacted with around 80 children.
Day 1
Everyday the session starts with a prayer beautifully chanted by the students. After the prayer the students and the interns briefly introduced themselves. On the first day we have the task of dividing the children into 4 different levels. Level-grading was done using the parameters of reading, writing and understanding texts in both the medium (hindi & English). Before the level-grading interns were instructed to perform some icebreaking activity.
Interns were allotted the following classes for level grading:
INTERNS CLASSES
- Shriya- 4,5
- Prajjwal & Swati- 6
- Anubhuti & Raghav- 7
- Kriti & Navya- 8,9
For ice-breaking, Shreya puts an adjective before the names of the children, starting with the same letter as of their names; Prajjwal and Swati conducted voting using chits to finalize reading of a story; Anubhuti and Raghav asked the students what they can teach them, and then they played HaHa-Ha Game; Kriti And Navya started with an ice-breaking activity where all the students had to introduce themselves with a word which started with the same letter as their name, for example: Kind Kriti or New Navya. This gave us an indication about the level of their vocabulary, along with Pictionary and counting game was played.

Note From The Manager
On the very first day of the Camp, students responded with great enthusiasm. So it doesn’t take us long to break the ice. Children at Betaalghat were very curious about the new games and want to know more about everything. And it is obvious with kids that they want to know every new thing. They want to see it, touch it and feel it. Children also have so many questions inside them, they wants to know how things work? Why this is so beautiful? What is inside this box?… We, at Kitaab tried our best to keep the curiosity inside them by answering their questions and providing them the adequate knowledge, not only through books but also elaborating and showing them the graphical videos about it. We have also used some activity based games to make them understand it.
Through this camp we tried our best to inculcate the reading habits among the children at Betalghat . Children were very Enthusiastic and have good potential at learning new things.
The team observed that the English of the Students was poor. We taught them some basic tenses and sentence formation using some activities. And we need to work on it in next camp as well.
The principal sir there, who is also the coordinator there helped us a lot. He provided us with everything we need during this camp. We are very thankful to him.
For The Love Of Reading
