Reading: A Habit That Enriches Every Life - Sunbeam School Suncity


Reading is much more than a way of gaining information. It is a habit that opens our minds, strengthens our imagination and helps us understand the world and ourselves better. A good book can introduce us to new ideas, different cultures, inspiring people and experiences that we may never encounter in our own lives. Reading plays an important role in the development of children as well as adults. For students, regular reading improves vocabulary, language skills, comprehension, concentration and creativity. It also develops the ability to think critically, ask questions and express ideas with confidence. Reading beyond textbooks encourages children to explore, imagine and learn independently.

For adults, reading provides an opportunity to continue learning throughout life. It helps us stay curious, reflect on different perspectives and develop a deeper understanding of people and the world around us. In a fast-changing world, the habit of reading enables us to keep learning and growing.

At My Good School, we believe that reading should not be restricted to the classroom or examination preparation. It should become a joyful and lifelong habit. With this belief, My Good School conducts reading sessions every Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for both students and adults.

These sessions provide a welcoming space where participants can read, listen, reflect and share their thoughts. Students get an opportunity to discover the joy of books, while adults can reconnect with the pleasure of reading and learning. The sessions also encourage meaningful conversations and help build a community of readers.

A reading habit does not develop overnight. It grows when we give ourselves regular time, choose books that interest us and allow reading to become a part of our lives. When children see adults reading, discussing books and enjoying stories, they also begin to understand that reading is not merely a school activity—it is a way of life.

At My Good School, our Sunday reading sessions are therefore not just about completing books. They are about building curious minds, thoughtful individuals and a lifelong community of learners.

Because every book we read adds a new thought, every story expands our imagination, and every reading experience helps us grow.

Being Human - Keyura Rao Cheeti

My school, The Hyderabad Public School Begumpet

Human beings are unique. But what are the qualities that make us so? Our intelligence and qualities, such as kindness, compassion, love, care, and empathy, differentiate us from other living beings.

We can use these qualities to improve the world by improving our and others' lives. We humans also have a responsibility towards Mother Earth. Some of the little things around me that I observed where I feel humanity can be put to use are children in the neighbourhood can learn to be compassionate towards the stray animals, friendly with other children, adults can be empathetic towards the beggars and the poor.

We must let go of our jealousy, pessimism, greed and pride that will stop us from seeing the good in others. We need to set an example for others to learn from us. We need to bring change in the world to make it harmonious for all of us to coexist.

Autobiography of a Pillow - Rishona Chopra

Hi there! It's me who gives you a good night's sleep and helps you maintain a lifestyle. Wait, you don't recognize me? I am your one and only pillow! 

This message is specifically for those naughty kids who think I don't know or feel anything. It all started with hitting me out of anger and then for fun, too, and they made it a game. They made a game for pillow wrestling! I mean, what do they think? That I am some non-living person who has no life? 

This is injustice, and I even went to the court of pillows, and the judge declared that they would take revenge. So little kids and old adults, listen up; you better stop now!
