Reading at Neev

"Learn to read, so you can read to learn" is the guiding ethos at Neev Academy. We believe effective early reading instruction empowers students to become fluent readers who comprehend and apply their knowledge in diverse contexts, fostering a strong motivation to explore more.

At Neev, we cultivate a joy for reading by emphasizing both how and what children read. This approach nurtures knowledgeable and avid readers, whether reading for purpose or pleasure. We encourage exploration of various genres to broaden perspectives and aim to instill a culture of well-read individuals who engage with timeless classics relevant to their world and future.

Reading is learned through practice. To develop lifelong reading habits, learners require ample time to engage with a wide range of quality fiction and non-fiction texts for enjoyment and learning. As students immerse themselves in captivating texts aligned with their developmental stages, they acquire essential skills, strategies, and conceptual understanding to become confident, independent readers.

Guided Reading 
(Grades 1 & 2)

Guided reading sessions at Neev Academy provide targeted support in small groups of up to five students, allowing teachers to tailor instruction based on individual needs and abilities.

Novel Study
(Grades 3, 4 & 5)

Novel study is an introduction to good literature and great children’s authors from the world and India while building their understanding of genre, voice, characters, plot and themes over the years. Through text-based questions and discussion, students are guided to deeply analyze and appreciate various aspects of the text.

Library Program (Middle & High School)

At Neev, the library does not resemble the traditional view of a silent, non-interactive space. We believe it to be a learning hub where students and teachers can collaborate and share ideas with the library team and take advantage of the variety of resources (digital and non-digital) we have to offer. With our primary goal being to foster a love of reading among our entire community, we are moving towards developing a structured library curriculum which will equip children to be effective researchers, responsible information gatherers and adventurous readers. The library team assists students and designs activities to promote overall linguistic confidence, healthy interactions and exposure to the full range of literacy skills necessary to create lifelong learners.
