Outreach Activities
Outreach That Puts Stories in More Little Hands
Through schools, NGOs, libraries and community spaces, we take Sonalika books and reading sessions to children who may not easily reach them on their own.
Where We Go
- Our outreach follows children wherever they gather to learn, listen and grow.
- We work with city and small-town schools, NGO-run centres, rural classrooms, community libraries and reading corners set up by governments and local groups. Any space that wants stories, thinking and imagination to be part of childhood is a space we are happy to be in.
What We Do
Each partnership is shaped around the community it serves, but most outreach programmes draw from the same core. A Sonalika story at the centre, and children invited to read, reflect and grow.
Storytelling Sessions
Story circles and read-alouds led using Sonalika titles, where children listen closely, imagine freely and find their own feelings, questions and confidence in the pages.
ToT (Training of Teachers) Workshops
Sessions for teachers and volunteers on how to use books and illustrations to spark curiosity, support early reading, strengthen pedagogy in phonics and language, and weave social-emotional learning and inclusivity into everyday classroom practice.
Book Sets and Mini-Libraries
Age-wise curated collections of Sonalika books to start or strengthen classroom and community shelves, across genres such as early readers, value-based stories, financial literacy, health and environment. These sets ensure that children can keep returning to familiar worlds on their own.
Curriculum Pilots
Trial use of our Early Learners materials in partner schools and centres, with regular feedback to refine how children respond, how teachers feel, and how the programme can serve different learning realities better.
Theme-Based Workshops
Workshops built around specific themes such as menstrual hygiene, growth mindset or inclusion, where the conversation begins with a Sonalika story, for example The Story of Everyone, and then opens out into discussion, reflection and practical understanding.
Who We Work With
- We partner with organisations that want story-based learning to be a consistent part of childhood.
- If you run a school, NGO, library, reading corner or any learning focused children’s programme and would like Sonalika’s books and storytelling work to be part of your ecosystem, we would be glad to listen, understand your context and co-create an outreach plan.
Invite Us to Your Organization
If you run a school, NGO, library or children’s programme and would like to bring Sonalika outreach to your community, we’d be happy to listen and see what fits.
