At Terray boarding house, we are passionate about encouraging our students to engage with and embrace reading in all its forms! We’ve introduced a daily habit where everyone reads for 20 minutes together and then shares a brief summary of their book. This not only fosters a love for reading but also sparks interest in different genres and titles across the group.

We’ve also brainstormed a few exciting activities to make reading even more interactive:

• Design a book cover: Students can re-imagine the cover of a book they’re reading or create one for a book they would like to write.
• Book swap: We’ll organise a fun book exchange where everyone can share their favourite reads.
• Library visits: Setting aside a specific day to visit the school library to explore new books and genres.
• Create your own comic book: Using templates, students can illustrate and write their own comic stories, blending creativity and reading.
• Write and perform a short play: Students will work together to write a short play and perform it, using props and costumes from around the house.

The possibilities are endless, but our goal remains the same—to instil a love for reading as a lifelong hobby. I’m excited to share a few pictures that capture these wonderful moments in the house!
