The Power of the Page: Celebrating Book Week at Asian Hope International School
There is a special kind of magic that happens when a child finds a book that speaks to them. This month, Asian Hope International School (AHIS) harnessed that magic during their annual Book Week, a high-energy celebration that took over the entire campus.
Igniting the Imagination
The goal of Book Week at AHIS is to move beyond the mechanics of reading and dive into the joy of storytelling. Throughout the week, Early Years and Primary students engaged in diverse activities designed to make characters jump off the page and into their hearts.
Key highlights of the week included:
- Creative Classroom Activities: Teachers curated specific lessons that allowed students to explore engaging characters and plotlines.
- School-Wide Engagement: From shared reading sessions to imaginative displays, the entire school became a hub for literacy.
- Early Years Focus: Young learners were introduced to the wonders of books through sensory storytelling and interactive play.
Building Lifelong Learners
AHIS believes that a love of reading is the most powerful tool a student can possess. By celebrating Book Week, the school aims to encourage lifelong reading and learning habits. When students are inspired by stories, they become more curious, improve their language skills, and develop the 21st-century critical thinking skills that AHIS is known for.
As an “Academically Excellent” institution, AHIS continues to show that the best way to achieve high standards is to ensure students are genuinely excited about their education.
