This activity helped 8th standard students improve their reading fluency, pronunciation, and comprehension skills while building confidence in reading English passages.

After understanding the structure, students confidently introduced themselves in English. This activity significantly contributed to improving their speaking skills, pronunciation, and self-confidence.
The students responded enthusiastically and appreciated the interactive and participative teaching approach adopted during the session. They actively engaged in reading, grammar, and speaking activities and expressed enjoyment throughout the session.
