SUMMARY:Reading Pictures: Using Wordless Picture Books to Unlock Joy for Children
DESCRIPTION:A Wordless Book is made up of pictures and no words to let readers insert themselves into stories as interpreters. Wordless books empower readers to use their own vocabulary and imagination to create and infer a story based on a series of images. \nWordless picture books encourage collaboration between a child and an educator. Because of the absence of a read-aloud component\, how children interpret the images and choose to talk about them can help adults see what’s in front of them with completely new eyes as well. Wordless picture books also enable lateral thinking in readers who use the same visuals to tell multiple stories at every reading. \nBachpan Manao\, Librarians of India\, Pratham Books have come together to offer a masterclass for teachers\, storytellers and librarians. In this webinar\, picture-book creators and teacher-facilitators will be walking us through the process of making a wordless book\, its value to readers and the best ways it can be used with children.

SUMMARY:The ‘First Songs’ Celebration – A Lullaby Project
DESCRIPTION:The First Songs project invites you to a special event to mark the launch of its microsite and share the incredible journey of collecting more than 100 lullabies in 13 languages from across India. These lullabies—often a child’s first experience of rhythm\, comfort\, and language—are being collected and shared so that families everywhere can sing\, learn\, and grow together. Research shows that children learn words not just through individual sounds but through rhythm\, and tone —exactly what lullabies offer. Singing to children lays astrong foundation for language development\, emotional bonding\, and a lifelong love for learning. \nThis project and celebration is a collabaction of Bachpan Manao\, an initiative to celebrate the abundance of childhood through joy\, and play.  We’d love for you to join us—to listen\, to sing\, and to be part of a movement that values the first songs we sing to children. \nBachpan Manao\, Loriya Sunao! \nLet’s celebrate lullabies. Let’s celebrate childhood.

SUMMARY:Brain Beats : How Rhythm Shapes Language and Literacy
