Some of the books she authored are; Train the Brain Junior Series, printed in five volumes, and Train the Brain RGB series printed in three volumes, specifically written to introduce and instruct pupils in primary schools to the elements of computer education and training.

Train The Brain series for Grade 1 to Grade 8, focuses on building, computing, and developing skills for students using different computer applications. This well-graded course extends not only to all boards in India, but also abroad!

The curriculum systematically covers the program where the students are introduced to the basics of computers, Internet, Digital drawing with 2D and 3D concepts, Word processing, Presentations, block-based visual programming with Scratch, HTML, Computer Network, App development, Java Programming.

The Train The Brain series is intended to establish a modern global computer education standard that includes five key principles involved in computational thinking:

• Algorithmic thinking: Aims to build the problem-solving skill and methodology.
• Evaluation: The process to evaluate algorithm solutions with efficiency, correctness, and clarity.
• Decomposition: It involves breaking down of a complex problem or system into smaller parts that are more manageable and easier to understand. The individual parts can then be evaluated separately.
• Abstraction: Abstraction involves hiding details and removing unnecessary complexity. The skill is in choosing the right detail to hide, so that the problem becomes easier to solve without losing anything that is important.
• Generalization: Generalization provides a powerful way to combine information to make it more usable and easier to remember.

Train The Brain series is exquisitely written by Rekha Malhotra, an expert enriched by comprehensive computer teaching experience. She has crafted the books in such a way that the complexities of computer science for school students is tremendously reduced.
