What I Learnt

Book excerpt: Ever had trouble learning at school? Well, Mama knows all the tricks to help you remember your numbers, complicated words and the difference between an S and a 2. All you need to learn is how to sing and dance! Don't believe me? Go ahead and ask her! 'What I Learnt' is the heartwarming story of a child who is struggling with academic concepts and how the mother steps in to encourage learning through play. Eventually the child becomes confident about the concepts and enthusiastic about learning. The protagonist is intentionally nameless and gender neutral to allow children to focus on their own journeys instead of the character's. The book is best read with a parent to spark conversations about any learning issues the child may be struggling with. 'What I Learnt' is one of Priyanka's most commended works. What parents say about 'What I Learnt' "I just read 'What I Learnt' - what a lovely book. It was very good, very important for parents too-to find different ways to teach their kids. Very well written and thought of." - Raina Patel "We absolutely loved the books... 'What I Learnt' is more of a reminder to the adult reading the book. They used to say in our training days, 'if you teach a child a hundred times and they still do not understand, it is a fault in the way you teach and not in the way the child understands' - It was a beautiful reminder." - Vaishali BK
