How to read Yug People? 

The Yug People series has been carefully designed for littles ones to experience these stories over a few stages:  

1st Phase: In the illustration based reading phase, children understand the content through the art.

2nd Phase: The next phase is the read aloud phase in which parents and children spend quality time while reading the pages aloud. This stage helps children develop their grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. 

3rd Phase: Then comes the self read phase. Children are able to recognize words and read sentences on their own. In this stage, they hone their reading skills, develop phonetic understanding and can now memorize text. 

4th Phase: The learning phase is the fourth stage in this process. After going over the text several times, children shift from rote learning to a deeper understanding of the text. They are now able to recognize teachings from the text and explain it in their own words. 

Who is an industrialist? 

A businessperson whose work has created a thriving industry is called an industrialist. When an industry is born, it creates jobs, opportunities and new areas of work, often that which has never been done before. Industrialists are calculated risk-takers and game changers, who thrive on challenges and create avenues to grow and flourish.

Why is it important for children to read about India? 

Culture, identity, dreams and knowledge are closely knit with one another. 

Our books familiarize children with various facets of Indian culture, starting at a young age. 

Reading about our historic past will evoke a sense of pride in our legacy and the identity borne from it. This creates a deeper bond with our heritage and ingrains a rich value system that is tied with our identity.

The great men and women of our country are inspirational, and children can learn a lot from their lives and accomplishments. When children discover role models they can identify with, they thrive and start dreaming of goals they can work towards. We want a brighter future for our children and the country, let’s start with showing our children that they can achieve anything they put their minds to!
