CBCS Reading Month

At CBCS, we believe education is not just about acquiring skills, it is about making virtuous persons, cultivating the child’s soul, and it is about building up a moral imagination that can serve him/her through the whole of life. For children, this moral imagination is awakened through fairy tales and stories. That’s one of the reasons we have annual Reading Month in March. We hope all CBCS communities (teachers and staff, parents and students) will use this momentum to:

  1. foster the love and enjoyment of reading and establish lifelong reading habits. 
  2. promote wonder, curiosity, and imagination by reading.
  3. develop students’ language skill and their critical thinking through discussion. 
  4. strengthen parent-child relationships.

Besides reading fiction (fairy tales, make-believe stories, myths, legends, fantasy, mysteries, and adventures), your child may also read different type of writing such as non-fiction books (science books, biographies, history, encyclopedias), graphic novels or comics (Tintin, Asterix, etc), newspaper, educational magazines (Bobo, Nat Geo Kids, etc).

Bulan Membaca CBCS

Di CBCS, kami percaya bahwa pendidikan bukan hanya tentang memperoleh keterampilan, tetapi juga tentang membentuk orang-orang yang berbudi luhur, menumbuhkan jiwa anak, dan tentang membangun imajinasi moral yang dapat melayaninya sepanjang hidup. Bagi anak-anak, imajinasi moral ini dibangkitkan melalui dongeng dan cerita. Itulah salah satu alasan kami mengadakan Bulan Membaca tahunan di bulan Maret. Kami berharap semua komunitas CBCS (guru dan staf, orang tua dan siswa) menggunakan momentum ini untuk:

  1. menumbuhkan kecintaan dan kenikmatan membaca serta membangun kebiasaan membaca seumur hidup.
  2. mendukung rasa takjub, rasa ingin tahu, dan imajinasi dengan membaca.
  3. mengembangkan keterampilan bahasa siswa dan pemikiran kritis mereka melalui diskusi.
  4. mempererat hubungan orangtua-anak.

Selain membaca buku fiksi (dongeng, khayalan, mitos, legenda, fantasi, misteri, dan petualangan), anak Anda juga dapat membaca berbagai jenis tulisan seperti buku non-fiksi (buku sains, biografi, sejarah, ensiklopedi), novel grafis atau komik (Tintin, Asterix, dll), surat kabar, majalah pendidikan (Bobo, Nat Geo Kids, dll).
