Why we Exist
Every parent knows the frustration: your child can read the words, but they don't understand the story. Try it out yourself and ask your child to articulate what they read.
Bookstaken began with one simple idea: kids learn best when they're having fun. We discovered that children who struggled with reading comprehension transformed completely when they could discuss stories with peers and caring mentors.
What started as pilot sessions with curious young minds has grown into a community of confident readers, dedicated mentors, and supportive parents across India.
