The Concept of an Experience Book
- A
note to parents from the Author’s desk
We, the millennial parents have a few burning issues
which keep on haunting us day in and day out. One of the biggest challenges of
parents today is
How to reduce the screen time of
their children?
How many of us are trying hard to inculcate a good
reading habit in our kids but they seem to be glued to media and gaming, be it
television or smartphones or tabs? If
you are one of them, continue to read on.
Let’s compare a children’s book with a cartoon movie and
you have to choose one, what would you choose? Both are colourful, attractive and
interesting but watching a video is a passive activity not requiring any effort
from the end user while reading a book requires an effort to read and comprehend.
Isn’t the choice simple? Clearly, books need to have a bigger attraction to
grab your child’s attention.
This is where an experience book can come in handy as an
effective learning tool. Reading books is like seeing the world through the
eyes of the author. We might relate to it, we might not. In Xperienci-o-pedia
books, you would paste the pictures of the child having a particular experience.
The child definitely relates to it. Here, the main character is
your child and the setting is familiar as the child has himself
experienced it.
We visit a lot of places with our child but are not able
to give him much of knowledge related to what we see mainly due to lack of time
and also sometimes due to lack of knowledge ourselves. At the max, we are able
to throw some “nouns” at him. Look! That is xyz but nothing more than that. The
Xperienci-o-pedia books are
written in a way so as to develop all the relevant vocabulary and language
easily without the burden of studies.
Life doesn’t come in chapters or in different phases
of life. It comes as a whole and together at the same time. That’s precisely how
it should be taught to a child so that he/she gets a complete picture rather than trying to
figure out with just a few pieces of puzzle in hand. Isn’t that how our
conventional schooling has been? What is taught later in different classes as a
part of separate curriculum can be easily grasped without any academic pressure
at the time when the child has experienced it personally.
Children need a lot of repetitions before a concept is
registered in their permanent memory. With his
pictures in the book, your child would pick up his Xperienci-o-pedia book again
and again, just like his photo album, would like you to read it to him several
times and even share it with anyone who comes home, in the process going
through the content innumerable times.
Xperienci-o-pedia
Series can become an effective tool in the junior school pedagogy and has the potential to revolutionize the field of education as well as
parenting.
Happy parenting!
