This month we're honouring the request of Sravisht This month we're honouring the request of Sravishta and exploring nature stories in our bookclub. Watch out for * A non fiction * A tale with an unusual protagonist * A story about saving the planet Can you guess the books we're going to be reading about? ➡️Faq about book club - Book club is a subscription based readaloud program. Simply click the subscribe button on my profile to join. We meet once a week, online to read aloud, share and reflect on some special books. Each readaloud is approx 20 minutes long. To join live, simply click on my profile picture on Tuesday at 9 pm. - The recordings are available for the whole month and found under the crown icon of my profile. - Age guidelines- we currently have 3 years to 13 year olds to adults ;). Try for a month to see if your child enjoys it independently or with guidance and you can unsubscribe if you don't think it suits you. - There is a month wise channel as well.Please don't forget to join it as I share post reading resources on it. To join please check under messages-channels- invites or ATbookclub story highlights for a step by step. As always May reads will be deleted by eod Jun 5th. Only bookish love and bookish light here, Vaishali
For context, this was a batch of 17 children acros For context, this was a batch of 17 children across age groups and I noticed while packing their reading portfolios that a big bunch of them were between 8-10 years old. Same age group, but different reading stamina, different preferences, different abilities and different interests. Totally unique reading lives. This is also the secret to how I pick books while gifting to children. What is their current need/ interest/ comfort zone? What is a book that still feels very close to their comfort zone but a little more challenging? All my babies were super excited about the books and some of them were touched that I knew exactly what they would enjoy. Their unique reading lives felt seen. To pick a book for a child is to enjoy knowing them, thinking deeply about them and to love them. To pick a book for a child is an act of love.💜 Let us try to spend a little more time and energy getting to know our children's reading lives, and not reduce it to an age guideline. Would you agree? #ammatoday
When we stop sorting books by age and start sortin When we stop sorting books by age and start sorting them by depth, the reading landscape changes dramatically. Many picture books are often written with enough complexity to challenge adults too. A good litmus test: if a picture book sparks a 30-minute discussion after a 10-minute read, it's doing serious literary work. Tell us a picture book that moved you as an adult💜 #ammatoday
