Learning outcomes
What children learn, book by book
Every book has clear outcomes for two age groups. Linked to the development areas in India’s National Curriculum Framework for the Foundational Stage (NCF-FS 2022). The same outcomes are printed in each book, in English, Hindi and Marathi.

How to use the books
At home, in small groups, in the classroom
At home
Read one book at bedtime or on a slow weekend morning – about 10 minutes. Do every Your turn!, say the chant, then try the small home activity from the last page that week.
In small groups
Playgroups, daycare, libraries and clinic waiting areas. One grown-up reads, the children answer the Your turn! questions together and act out the swap, the shop or the sharing jar with pretend coins.
In the classroom
One book a week for 10 weeks. Use the Talk about it questions at circle time, colour the free badge printables, and finish with a class “Ten-Minute Shop”. School prices →
