During each session, they do not just read aloud; they facilitate the entire flow, from handling puppets to leading the post-story Q&A. We see the younger audience stay glued to the action, proving that kids often connect best with other kids, making this more than just a reading hour—it is a confidence-building circle. At our Vikhroli studio, we believe that children are the best narrators for their own peers. The Totally Booktastic Club was born from a simple observation: when an older child reads to a younger one, a unique bond forms. The older kids practice their public speaking, voice modulation, and stage presence, while the younger ones are captivated, learning that reading is a social, high-energy activity rather than a solitary task. ### How Our Sessions Work Every session is kept intimate to ensure everyone gets a turn to shine. We focus on: * **Peer Mentorship:** The 7-to-10-year-olds choose their favorite books and prepare them, turning reading into a performance. * **Interactive Q&A:** We wrap up every story with a discussion. It is the best part of the day, watching a 3-year-old try to answer a question posed by an older student. * **Screen-Free Engagement:** No digital devices. Just books, puppets, and the joy of talking to one another. We focus on vocabulary building, expressing emotions, and learning to hold an audience’s attention. By the time a child finishes a session, they walk away with a little more courage to speak their mind. Whether your child is the one holding the book or the one listening on our foam mats, they are part of a vibrant, growing community of story lovers. ## About Wondershop We started Wondershop because we saw how much joy kids get from creating and sharing stories. Here, we help children find their voice, whether they are the ones reading from the book or the little ones listening with wide eyes.
