Session on How to Write a Book Review 

The Library of PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya Sundargarh organized an informative and interactive session on “How to Write a Book Review” for students. The objective of the session was to help young readers develop the skill of expressing their opinions about books in a structured and meaningful way.

The session was conducted by the Librarian, who explained the key components of a good book review — including the title, author, publisher, summary of the plot, main characters, and the reader’s personal opinion. He highlighted the importance of writing in one’s own words and being honest while sharing views about the book.

Students learned how to evaluate a book based on its theme, writing style, and the message it conveys. Practical examples from popular children’s and young adult books were discussed to make the session more engaging.

A hands-on activity followed, where students were asked to select a book from the library and draft a short review using the provided Book Review Format. The participants showed great enthusiasm and creativity in presenting their thoughts.

The session concluded with an encouraging message from the Librarian, reminding students that book reviewing is not just about writing—it’s about understanding, connecting, and sharing the joy of reading. The event truly strengthened the reading culture of the school.
