Here we are not simply talking about the school pedagogies. The subject is surely related to the development of reading habit among children – a basic necessity for mankind to keep the pace of enhancement.

 

The modern schools are identified like fashion houses by the advanced techniques followed for teaching. The techniques include Games, Audio visuals, Activity based learning, Internet based virtual teachings etc. The class rooms are more interactive from the nursery levels to higher schools. Importantly, the schools are rated top class when it is fully equipped with ultramodern web based, broadcast education system like Virtual Smart class and vastly depended more on technologies to teach rather to teach with centuries old teacher based.
