13. Improving reading habits of school children

The apparent casuality of a large-scale media explosion, particularly in India seems to be the reading habits of students . How can we over come them ?

* In addition to instructional sessions on motivating students to read we should :
•Help learners improve their concentration.
•Conduct awareness generation sessions on methods of reading.
•Develop a culture of reading as a good past time in campuses.
•Provide incentives for those who read at least a book a week.
•Identify the impact of environment on reading habits and take appropriate steps.
•Acquaint with the family background of the students to render extra help to
students hailing from illiterate families.

Would you, dear reader, like to add anything to the list?
