For learning: Read-aloud sessions will improve listening skills and imagination. These books are suitable as supplementary reading (not a replacement for school textbooks). They are excellent for building cultural literacy, storytelling skills, and early vocabulary.

For parents/teachers: Use short daily story sessions (10–15 mins) to build habit and reduce screen time. Combine with activities: drawing scenes, asking children to retell stories, or simple role play to boost comprehension and speaking skills.
