Who uses these books

Finding your way in

The same books are used in government schools, private and international schools, and at home. What changes is how you get started. Find the description that fits you below.

Government & NGOs

Katha has worked in government schools and low-income communities since the late 1980s. For large programmes, we provide the curriculum mapping and can discuss how the books fit an existing system.

Partnership enquiry

Private schools

The close-reading and discussion the books involve is the same work the ICSE competency questions ask for. Schools use TAL as the main text or alongside a prescribed one.

Order or pilot

Premier & IB schools

The books overlap with several of the IB PYP themes, and draw on Indian literary and philosophical sources. Worth a look if you want that material represented well.

Homeschoolers

NIOS doesn't include a story-based literature curriculum, so families often assemble their own. The books are written for an adult reading alongside a child, with no special training assumed.

Parents & first-timers

You don't need a lesson plan to start. Pick the book that matches your child's age, read a story together, and talk about it. The quiz below suggests a starting point.
