Frequently Asked Questions
The LIT Quest’s Reading Programme is an immersive and enriching initiative aimed at instilling a love for reading and building a diverse home library for students. It provides carefully curated books, interactive activities, worksheets, and engaging discussions to enhance their reading journey and foster cognitive connections. Also, one of the reasons to keep this programme strictly offline is to provide necessary respite to students from screen time (even if it is good screen time), where they can have a very constructive avenue to relax, learn, and have fun, all at the same time. Another reason for us to choose the offline mode for this programme is to introduce students to realistic literary text and not the dialled-down or diluted text (many a time, provided under online/ electronic Reading Programmes, under the pretext of providing more accessible content). So, with The LIT Quest’s reading program, what they are reading is as real as what they are expected to read in terms of literary content. We persevere to provide accessibility for all types of new readers by searching for the best possible organic content in terms of books in the literary market (titles which are also often respected and appreciated in the publishing and literary segments) and putting all the chosen books through a rigorous curation process, and passing on the gems to the students.
You can support your child’s reading progress by establishing a consistent reading routine at home. Set aside dedicated time each day for reading and create a quiet and comfortable reading environment. Engage in discussions about the books your child is reading and encourage them to ask questions and share their thoughts. Celebrate their reading milestones and provide positive reinforcement to keep them motivated.
It’s normal for children to encounter books that may be more challenging. Encourage your child to give it a try, but if they find it too difficult, it’s okay to set it aside and choose another book that matches their reading level and interests. The LIT Quest Reading Programme offers a wide range of books, and our team can provide recommendations based on your child’s reading abilities. From the second LIT Box onwards, the child starts building options and in effect a library of titles at home. And as the home library keeps on growing as a constructive and therapeutic habit space for them, the child evolves into the habit of reading and graduating to increasingly challenging books to satiate their growing appetite for consuming more challenging and stimulating story experiences.
Absolutely! Reading with your child is a great way to foster a love for reading and enhance their comprehension skills. Take turns reading aloud, discuss the story together, and ask questions to encourage deeper understanding. By engaging in shared reading experiences, you can bond with your child and make reading even more enjoyable.
We provide regular progress updates to parents, including information about the books your child has read and their reading milestones. Also, the student dashboard would enable you to keep track of your child’s progress in terms of every exercise evidence submitted by them into their portal after completing every book they receive. If your child is too young, then, you can help them upload the evidence of their completed exercises of worksheets, activity sheets, and quizzes, which would be processed into easily readable data points to track your child’s progress in the Reading Programme. Additionally, you can engage in conversations with your child about the books they are reading, ask them to summarize the stories, or even have them read aloud to you to assess their fluency and comprehension.
Every child reads at their own pace, and it’s perfectly fine if they haven’t finished a book before the next one arrives.
