They read more
When a child’s name, culture, and family appear in a story, they engage more deeply — and come back for more.
They retain more
Bilingual books that affirm a child’s home language strengthen comprehension and long-term memory.
They believe they are readers
Culturally affirming stories build reading identity — children stop seeing books as something for “other kids.”
Every book includes a shared drawing activity
Each ChalkTales book is paired with a drawing activity that deepens comprehension and turns reading into a family experience. Arts-integrated learning strengthens understanding and retention — and creates a moment families share together.
