Literary Club
Reading, writing and the confidence to speak
What this club is for
Purpose
To build fluent, confident readers and writers in English and Hindi, and to give every child regular practice in speaking before an audience.
What it aims to develop
-
Reading habits
A steady daily reading habit, supported by the school's Special Focus on Reading Habits from May onwards.
-
Clear handwriting
Legible handwriting and well-organised written work, carried into every subject, not only English and Hindi.
-
Elocution and debate
Regular practice in elocution, declamation and debate, so that argument and expression become second nature.
-
Public speaking
The comfort to speak in front of the class, the assembly and the school without fear.
Typical activities
-
Handwriting competitions
Judged on neatness, spacing and consistency, across every class.
-
Creative writing
Short pieces that let a child find and use their own voice.
-
Story writing
Original stories written to a prompt or a picture, then read aloud.
-
Spell Bee
A timed spelling contest that rewards a wide, careful vocabulary.
-
Elocution and declamation
Prepared recitation and speech delivered from memory, before an audience.
-
Speech competitions
Short speeches on a set topic, judged on content and delivery.
-
Notice-board competitions
Class notice-boards designed and written by students on a set theme.
How it helps a child grow
Children who can read closely, write clearly and hold an audience — skills that carry into every other subject.
