Abstract
I teach language and maths to classes I and II. Seven hours are allotted for working with students in the classroom, plus an additional hour for extra instruction. I started an open library in the school last year. I reach school early and if any student arrives early, I read out to them; introduce them to new books and tell them stories. I also read for myself during this time or occasionally, spend this time organising the classroom library, creating new charts, setting up TLMs, etc. School begins with a half-hour morning assembly on three days of the week. On the other three days, there is a discussion on students’ behavioural and classroom issues and school regulations. The next half-an-hour, every day, is reading time. The class library has books appropriate for the children's reading ability, so they choose their own books and read. I sit next to those who find it difficult to read. After this, it is breakfast time from 10 to 10:15 AM.
