Vivek Reader

Swami Vivekananda’s words have remained electrifying for readers of all ages. Anyone will marvel at the choice of words, structure composition, and above all the profound message for humanity through his discourses.

This ebook contains 10 selected stories from Vol 1 of The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Advaita Ashrama, Kolkata (ISBN: 978-8185301-47-1 2020 28th impression; 1st edition 1907) The stories have been selected to benefit the students and learners of the English language. The selection is based on (a) ease of reading, (b) suitable grade levels, (c) the possibility to create interest, and most importantly (d) to promote values and learning while developing comprehension. 

A wealth of knowledge is contained in The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. However, much of the gems have remained obscure or unread by the children. This book is an attempt to make such hidden treasures easily accessible to all. It can be read independently or as a guided reading session for learning English and developing comprehension.

Students can read the stories themselves or with support. Parents and teachers are encouraged to discuss the stories and messages with the students. As mobile phones are widely available, the students will be benefited by reading the ebooks using ebook readers like Google Playbooks. This would also help them in diction, pronunciation and comprehension.
