Reading books is the best habit for all kids from any age. It’s an activity that gives you immense pleasure with great knowledge, if you have read a book you can remember it for life as it stays in your memory.
Reading not only gives you knowledge, but it has many benefits attached to it. Nowadays technology has a really bad effect and now book reading is replaced by phones and tabs.
I would like to share some benefits of reading books and how Neev Literature Festival is celebrating the love of reading and introducing it to children.

I am glad to attend this Literature Festival organized by Neev Academy. Would like to share more about the event with you all, so that you can pin it for next year and make sure to attend this Festival.
Finally when I entered the campus, it was such a delightful experience and most noteworthy is to see the enthusiasm of all the kids attending the fest. The campus was full of colours and books, with the beautiful art exhibition.
The most interesting of all activities, that I enjoyed with my daughter was Book talk – reading session by Paro Anand. She was the keynote speaker at the Fest, her fearless and honest writings are inspired by her close association with kids and adults. Her stories have empowering effects on kids.
Her unique way of storytelling with songs and actions was making it a fun-filled learning. All the kids and parents enjoyed the reading and interactive session.
Another interesting book reading session by Shabnam Minwalla reminded me the days of my childhood, when our Mom and Granny read us stories and we all sit around her hours lost in them.
This year they launched “Neev Children Book Awards” at Neev Literature Festival to recognize the outstanding writing in children’s literature. A wonderful series of conversation between children, authors and adults. The goal behind it was to recognize great children’s literature of all ages, growing readers for life and making reading part of every home.
These awards aim to promote and encourage high quality children’s literature from all over India.
The awards have three categories,
- Picture book.
- Young reader’s book.
- Young adults book.
Awards nomination were open to all children’s titles, published in India or written by authors of Indian origin.
Beside that we had a chance to visit the big library from Neev Academy for all kids and parents. Where they can choose and read the books of their choice and interest.
Neev literature Festival happens every year, if you have missed this year don’t forget to mark your dates for next year and celebrate your love for reading with them.
A gr8 festival for developing book love for your kids, wish i can attend one with my kids. Thanks for sharing about it.
so lucky that you get to experience such interesting festivals in Bangalore. I wish something like this happens in Mumbai too
WHat an amazing initiative and perfectly done event! You know I totally heart literary festivals, but this one just takes the cake because it is for kids! I especially love the storytelling anf the awards! i am sure my kids would have loved it <3 I am glad you got to attend it! Shared on Facebook
Would have loved to attend such a great event. Reading and arts are definitely important for kids.
Reading indeed opens up a whole new world. And nothing could make for a better habit for kids.
Reading makes kids understand the concept fast and also creates imagination in thier mind making it more development in learning skills
What an amazing fest to encourage reading and love for books in kids. If this was in Mumbai, I would have loved to take my child, he is into books and has a huge collection already. It would have been a huge excitement for him.
Books & excitement towards books is one of the best gifts one can give or receive. I am glad my daughters are also turning out to be book lovers & literature festivals & exposures like these ones help them a lot. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a commendable job the Neev Academy is doing to promote reading in young children. I myself advocate the inculcation of reading habits in kids as early as possible for the numerous benefits it has on their development.
The festival must have been really enriching.
Reading help us build a better vocabulary. It has been proven that book readers have a richer vocabulary, so for them easier to find the best expression for all that they want to tell others. In general, the more you read, the richer your vocabulary gets. Furthermore, books are definitely a treasure trove of knowledge!
Wow, what a great opportunity to introduce reading to kids. Kudos to Neev Academy to come up with this literature festival. I am marking the dates and would love to attend this book festival next year.
This event is such a great idea to inspire kids to read and read a little more and read better.
I love to attend literature fests. I wish this happens in Delhi too. Books have a different world of themselves. They are just mesmerising.
Book festivals for kids is a great initiative. I would love to take my son sometime in book fests. We love reading. And the benefits of reading are tremendous, just as you stated.
Books are a window to the imagination. Looks like Neev literature fest was a great experience for everyone who enjoys reading or would like to start reading at an early age. Beginning to read books since childhood can really help one in many ways.
A book festival for kids is a wonderful idea to foster reading habits in children. Looking at the pictures, it seems to have been a fun filled day.
This actually sounds pretty cool. There is no denying the benefits books have on a child’s development. I especially liked the benefit that you don’t need an Internet connection 🙂 Books do have the power to pull kids away from screens.
