Level three books help in developing fluency in Hindi for children who are relatively comfortable with Hindi script and vocabulary and need practice to maintain and improve their skills. Each story in these books consists of an interesting story line with a good mix of new and repetitive phrases. On each facing pair of pages, the top of the left page lists the Hindi paragraph that narrates the story. The bottom of the left page has the transliteration of the paragraph in English. If the transliterated paragraph is read in conversational English, the pronunciation would be similar to the one in Hindi. The right page translates the paragraph in English. These level three books deal with the life of Sonu, an Indian kid growing up in the United States.
