Enticing English: Battle of the Books
“TV. If kids are entertained by two letters, imagine the fun they'll have with twenty-six.
Open your child's imagination. Open a book.”- Author Unknown
Dear Parents,
Enticing English week, being celebrated at TGES from 3rd to 7th February, is a modest effort from our side to resurrect
the falling language standards. There is no denying that a strong command of the English language will lead to higher
paying jobs, more social mobility, and a great deal of social success.
In today’s world of games and gizmos, reading books is becoming a thing of the past. The Global Edge School has
always strived to inculcate reading habits in children by organising DEAR day programs and encouraging students to
issue as many books from the school library as they can read.
Another endeavour in this direction is the book based quiz competition ‘Battle of the Books’. Every grade is given a
set of story books to read, within a stipulated period, and later quizzed on the same. All these books are available
online.
Children are not expected to ‘learn’ the books; just giving it a reading would be sufficient. Questions would be age
and grade appropriate.
(Sample questions for primary
In which book …
1. is the story told by the perspective of a doll?
2. does a little girl and her mother escape from their masters?
3. does a boy’s father lose his job and the family has to move to an apartment? )
The following are the books for Grade I:

benefits.

Class Teacher
