How to turn maths practice into a fun storybook your child wants to read

By Grandma Jayshree

Child development specialist & teacher

Step 1 - Begin Your Story Journey

First, my dears, simply visit the Build Your Book creation page. Think of it as opening a magical portal to a world where learning is playful and stories are tailor-made for your little one. Don't worry, it's designed to be very intuitive, even for those of us who aren't 'tech-savvy' aunties!

This step is about setting the stage for a personalised learning experience.

Step 2 - Introduce Your Little Learner

Next, you'll be prompted to enter your child's name and age. This is where the magic of a personalized storybook builder truly begins! For example, if your daughter Meera is 6, you'll enter her details. You can even choose her gender and some key traits if you like, making the character truly her own.

Making your child the hero instantly hooks their interest and makes the story more relatable.

Step 3 - Craft Your Maths Adventure Prompt

Now for the fun part: tell the story builder what you want to teach! Instead of 'practice addition facts,' try something like: 'Saanvi needs to collect 7 marigold flowers for her grandmother's puja, but she only has 3. How many more does she need to find?' Or, 'Arjun is helping distribute sweets for Eid, and he has 12 ladoos to share equally among 3 friends. How many will each friend get?' Be specific and imaginative!

This prompt transforms abstract numbers into a tangible, meaningful challenge within a story.

💡 Grandma's tip: Think about your child's favourite characters or upcoming festivals for inspiration!

Step 4 - Choose Your Story's Language

Before generating, you can select the language for your story. Perhaps you want your little one to learn maths in Marathi, or reinforce their mother tongue even while learning, a wonderful feature for our NRI families! You'll find options for many Indian languages.

Learning in a familiar language deepens comprehension and emotional connection.

💡 Grandma's tip: Try creating stories in different languages to boost bilingual skills!

Step 5 - Generate and Refine Your Tale

With your prompt ready and preferences set, click 'Generate Story.' In moments, your personalised maths adventure will appear! Read through it, my dears. Does it hit the learning goal? Is it engaging? If not, you can always tweak your prompt slightly and generate it again. It’s like gently kneading dough until it's just right.

This iterative process ensures the story perfectly aligns with your child's learning needs and keeps them captivated.

Step 6 - Bring the Story to Life (and Learning!)

Finally, it's time to share the story! Sit with your little one, read the tale aloud, and let them solve the maths problem embedded in the narrative. Ask questions, celebrate their 'aha!' moments, and perhaps even act out parts of the story. Remember, the journey of learning is as important as the destination.

Reading together strengthens your bond and makes learning an enjoyable, shared experience.

💡 Grandma's tip: Keep the story to refer back to when they need a little maths refresher!
