Long long time ago during winter break, when I was cleaning my library I came across a pile of books called Efficacy Books. My first impulse was to burn them as they looked like a waste of space. After the second glanced I realised that those books are priceless. Efficacy book is a book that is given to every child and contains stories, questions, places to draw self portraits and pictures of friends, places to write things about oneself. In short it is a book that is used for the self-development of a child - in grade 3. My children are grade 8, but nevertheless the books were wonderful and very useful. We spend a total of about 10 hours writing and drawing in these books, reading stories and discussing them. I used all the stickers that my mother mailed for me to decorate their books. After the end of the academic year, they took their books home. This was one of my most successful programs in the school.
