“I could not afford a smartphone last year and was worried that Sulagna would be unable to learn anything as her school was closed.”, says Rajesh, a parent from Kendrapara. “I was apprehensive if I would be able to support Sulagna’s learning when I was on-boarded to ThinkZone’s home-based learning program by Sulagna’s school teacher. But the activities shared on my small phone were so simple and engaging that I started enjoying practicing the same with Sulagna.
In one of the activities, she had to note down the names of all her family members and what they like to eat. She made the list with so much enthusiasm and I helped her write correct spellings for these names in the list. In another activity, she had to identify shapes using daily objects. I will continue practicing these activities at home with Sulagna even when school reopens as I feel proud that I can contribute to her learning in a way she can enjoy.”
