In this practical tutorial, Neelam Gupta from Eklavya Foundation shares a simple, engaging approach to help children pick up books they often avoid due to heavy text or length. By understanding students’ preferences, designing interactive activities, and creating visually appealing “Activity Corners,” librarians can spark curiosity and make these books more approachable. This method encourages children to step beyond their usual choices, explore new genres, and discover the joy of reading in unexpected places.
