Morning Assembly Book Review

The Library of PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya Sundargarh introduced an inspiring activity during the morning assembly—a Book Review Presentation by Students. The initiative aimed to promote reading habits and encourage students to share their learning and reflections from different books.

Every week, selected students from various classes presented short and thoughtful reviews of books they had recently read from the school library. They spoke about the title, author, storyline, main characters, and the message or moral of the book. The reviews covered a wide range of genres including fiction, biographies, science, and motivational literature.

The activity not only enhanced students’ reading and speaking skills but also helped their peers discover new and interesting books to read. The Librarian, along with teachers, guided the students in preparing their reviews and appreciated their efforts during the assembly.

The Book Review in the Morning Assembly has become a regular and much-awaited feature, fostering a strong reading culture and motivating everyone to explore the magical world of books.

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.
