AniBooks: A ‘Book’ for Every Child in her Language

By Parthibhan Amudhan | Mr.

As part of development of Anibooks and assessing its impact on reading, PlanetRead is: (a) creating two new stories in animated and subtitled format in Bhili and Santhali each; (b) converting three existing Anibooks (available in major Indian languages) in two tribal languages; and (c) producing master copies of two VCDs with five Anibooks, each VCD comprising of five stories in tribal and regional languages.

PlanetRead’s interventions would result in development of Anibooks in tribal languages, for the first time. The books would be piloted in the field.

A study covering 2,000 children from experimental and control groups would subsequently help assess the impact of Anibooks on reading skills and increasing English vocabulary.
