Your school library
Ask your librarian or teacher how to borrow books. Most schools let you take one or two home for a week.
A public library
Many towns have a public or district library where children can read, and often join, for little or no cost. Ask a grown-up to find the nearest one.
NCERT books as PDFs
Every NCERT textbook can be read free on ncert.nic.in. Read the next chapter before your teacher starts it and the class will feel easier.
Stories on a screen
StoryWeaver has thousands of picture stories in many Indian languages. You can read them for free on any phone or computer.
A class or friends book swap
Start a swap shelf with your friends. Each person brings one book and takes one home.
A reading corner at home
Pick a quiet spot with good light. Even ten minutes of reading a day adds up to many books in a year.
Read aloud together
Read a page to a younger brother, sister or cousin, or ask someone older to read to you. Reading aloud is great practice.
Keep a reading log
Write the name of each book you finish and one thing you liked about it. You will be proud of the list.
