Snowflakes Reader 8.0

Snowflakes is a series of eight readers for students of classes 1 to 8. It is meant primarily to inculcate in children a love for reading as well as appropriate reading skills. Just as each individual snowflake is unique, the title of this series is justified by the extent of its content which is unique in terms of its literary, linguistic and pedagogical merit. The selections in each book include a wide range of stories, poems, prose pieces, plays and excerpts which have been collated from a variety of sources, both classic and contemporary. Care has been to taken to ensure that they expose students to diverse genres and socio-cultural contexts. Each reading text is accompanied by a variety of exercises which provide ample opportunity for understanding, revision and evaluation. The exercises make it possible for students to learn to read with comprehension while consciously applying their knowledge of grammatical and phonetic principles. Similarly, the series also aims at cultivating the learners’ vocabulary to facilitate further reading as well as productive tasks.
