- Continuing the tradition of story telling from where Grandma left off…
- Based on the modern integrated approach to learning
- Helps in improving vocabulary, comprehension and expression
- Strengthens reading, writing, drawing and colouring skills
- Brilliantly illustrated
- A play-way teaching aid to make the learning process most enjoyable.
Imagine a school teacher specializing in pre-school and primary education feeling continuously dissatisfied with most of the teaching aids found locally. There are, of course, innumerable story and picture books available for children. But they are invariably of the western genre or stereotyped products to pose any real challenge to those fertile young minds taking the first few tentative steps into the mainstream of education today. Probably, such material fail to inspire the teaching fraternity as well.
For example, consider an average illustrated storybook of Indian or foreign origin. Regardless of the quality of illustrations or presentation format, the story takes the standard route of narration. It is comparatively easy on the parent or teacher who is telling the story to carry out the task. But education, by any stretch of imagination, cannot be considered so easy. Now, ask the all-important question, how far does a standard story-telling session help in educating a child? The truth may be, precious little. In fact, it is reflective of the general dilution in standard that is fast eroding the field of education, particularly at the preparatory and primary levels. Plenty of quantity, but very little regard for quality!
