The Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) program was organized at GIIS Dubai to develop a love for reading and promoting literacy among students across grades. 

Students were asked to bring their favorite books or choose a book from the school library to read during the day. The programme is effective in promoting literacy and improving reading skills along with fostering a love for reading among students. Reading has also proved to be a great way to relieve stress, making it an essential part of a well-rounded education.

The DEAR program has several benefits for students, including improving literacy skills, expanding vocabulary and promoting critical thinking. 

Through regular reading programmes like DEAR GIIS Dubai creates a supportive environment that encourages students to enjoy reading and evolve as global citizens.
