Celebrating the Joy of Reading
Reading Day at Auxilium School Maradiyur is a vibrant celebration of books, stories, and the written word. The day is dedicated to nurturing a deep and lasting love for reading among students, encouraging them to explore diverse genres, discover new authors, and develop strong language skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
Activities and Highlights
- Reading Marathon: Students spend the day immersed in books of their choice, tracking their reading progress and sharing reflections with classmates.
- Storytelling Sessions: Teachers and guest storytellers bring tales to life with expressive narration, props, and interactive elements.
- Book Fair: A mini book fair is organized on campus, allowing students to browse and purchase books across genres and age groups.

- Reading Competitions: Students participate in poem recitation, essay writing, and extempore speaking competitions based on their reading experiences.
Multilingual Reading
Reflecting our diverse student body, Reading Day celebrates literature in multiple languages including English, Kannada, and Hindi. Students present speeches and performances in these languages, broadening their linguistic horizons and appreciating the richness of Indian literature.
Library Week
Reading Day is often part of a larger Library Week, during which the school library hosts quizzes, book reviews, and reading challenges. Students are encouraged to borrow books, explore digital resources, and discover the joy of independent reading.
A Lifelong Habit
Our goal is to make reading a habit, not just an event. We maintain a well-stocked library with age-appropriate books, comfortable reading corners, and quiet zones where students can relax with a good book. Reading is integrated into the daily timetable, and teachers use literature across subjects to make learning more engaging and meaningful.
