On Friday, 26 November 2010,  children across the country will read.
Be one of them!

Scholastic India invites you and your  students to join schools all across the country on Friday, 26  November 2010 to celebrate the pleasures of reading.

One Nation Reading Together is  an annual event, where children in schools across the country will  spend 30 minutes (preferably at 12 noon) on the designated day  reading for fun, and doing other activities that celebrate reading as  a pleasurable and enriching experience.

In 2009, an estimated 850 schools from  across the country participated in this event. They read the  specially written reading pledge and celebrated reading as a  pleasurable and enjoyable activity.

In 2010, we are proud to announce that  the reading pledge has been written by Anushka Ravishankar,  well-known author and poet. The participating schools will receive a  reading kit comprising the reading pledge, a book specially created  for this occasion and posters. Over 6000 schools across the country  have been invited to participate in this exciting event.

One Nation Reading Together is  also about granting access to books to children who normally do not  have access to them. For every school that participates in the event,  Scholastic India will donate 100 books to the library of a needy  school.

In 2009, Scholastic had gifted over  85,000 books to children associated with NGOs in different parts of  the country. Your participation can ensure that more children have  access to books.
