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. 

What does a flight attendant do? 

Flight attendants are the kind, respectful and attentive men and women who make travel on flights comfortable for us. They make sure we are safe, help us when we are in need and ensure that we are enjoying our journey. 

A flight attendant’s work requires a lot of patience, diligence and care. On most passenger flights, one attendant must look after nearly 50 or more passengers, which is extremely challenging and tiring, but they are happy to do it with smiles on their faces. 

The next time you go on an airline, make sure you observe how many passengers an attendant is looking after and thank them for their service!

The holistic benefits of reading are aplenty:

Why is it important for children to read about India? 

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

Our books will familiarize children with various facets of Indian culture. Many of these stories are not as popularly known and widely read as they ought to be. 

 Reading about our country will evoke a sense of pride in our collective history and identity. An in-depth knowledge of our history will create a deeper bond with our heritage and ingrain a rich value system that is decidedly 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!
