Reading Adventures by Saniya Chughtai: Back to School with Courage
An interactive storytelling and emotional learning experience designed to help young children explore the feelings that can come with starting a new school year. Through Tach Plays in Croke Park, conversation and the My Feelings Journey activity, children will explore six emotions: angry, scared, sad, happy, silly and excited.
My Feelings Journey
At the beginning of the program, each child will receive a simple illustrated activity sheet featuring the six emotions. With the support of their parents or accompanying adults, children will be encouraged to identify the emotions they recognize. Following the storytelling and interactive discussion, the activity will be revisited to see whether children's recognition of emotions has changed. This simple before-and-after activity will allow us to observe the program's impact on children's ability to recognize and name emotions, while keeping the experience playful and age appropriate.
The program will conclude with a short Author Q&A and book signing.
