Punjabi Early Readers
Your child can read these on their own once they have learned the letters used in each book.
The moment your child reads Gurmukhi out loud by themselves — and you realise the language isn't going to stop with you. Little books that start so small a brand-new reader wins on the very first page, then grow one step at a time. Read them together, then let them take over. Funny first, so they beg to read them again.
