Word-building
is the process of constructing an imaginary world. It is a key to reading,
writing and verbal expressions. It also helps in improving analytical and
critical thinking. A student’s vocabulary skills can be measured in terms of
building receptive vocabulary words (i.e. understanding) and their expressive
vocabulary words. Building vocabulary skills improves reading comprehension and
reading fluency.
In
order to develop more reading and thinking skills in our students, Word-building
competition was conducted on 20th
April, 2012 for primary wing (classes 1-5).All the students participated
with great enthusiasm and they were able to write many words from one single
word. This even helped the students to develop their writing skill and
imaginative skill…and most of them enjoyed the word-building competition.
