READ-O-MANIA: BY NUTSPACE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Tripat Ratra
Early Years Educator
Tripat recently found her calling in the field of early childhood education. With a Masters degree in marketing, and having spent almost a decade in the field of banking and insurance, she believes that, there is nothing more rewarding than enabling children to explore, observe and learn by themselves.
During the pandemic, she had the chance to interact with and conduct reading and comprehension classes for children living in different cities, virtually. Being with these little learners, on their journey to becoming avid readers, is the gratification that she primarily seeks in her role as an educator.

Reading is one of the most important skills of the 21st century. A variety of tasks in daily life require reading and understanding written instructions. If children do not learn to read, they cannot read to learn. Even though the gap is huge, it needs to be filled with immediate action. The solution for this is helping children brush up their systematic synthetic phonics, and encouraging them to read more.
​
The NutSpace Read-O-Mania programme is a super-fun reading class where early readers will brush up their knowledge of phonics and read level 3 & 4 books to step-up their reading. This course will boost their reading confidence and also provide them ample reading opportunities.
​
There will be a focus on comprehension, vocabulary, reading rules, sight /tricky words, and reading by the children. The class has been designed keeping in mind the short attention span of an early reader and therefore has ample games and activities, role-play and drama and much more to keep early readers engaged.
​
Games, music, body movement, role play and drama are a huge part of the lesson plans, ensuring active engagement on the part of children. We have seen the most reluctant learners warming up because of our engaging lesson plans.
This programme also offers access to pre-recorded lessons, extended learning, and tutorials for parents via the NutSpace Learning Management System (LMS).

1. What resources will a child need to bring for this programme?
​
Happy hearts and a keen mind, which all children are innately blessed with. The rest will be provided as part of the programme. ​
​
2. Will any support and training be provided to parents?
​
Yes, parents play a very important role in setting a strong foundation in a child’s reading journey, and hence would be provided constant support and training through the NutSpace Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS is a repository of training videos, worksheets, story videos, games and activities. Each child and parent, signed up for the programme, also receives year-long access to these resources (for 3 months for the duration of the programme, and 9 months post programme) by way of the LMS.
