The emphasis gradually shifts to learners using language to express
their needs, feelings and emotions in the simplest possible form. Then
come simple stories which they listen to and enjoy.

to writing the letters of the English alphabet. These process continues in
standered II and by the end of the second year it is hoped that learners

words and short sentences in English.
There is not going to be the Teacher’s Souuce Bookas we used to
have for the earlier package of practice Book. All the material s and
instructions are giveen the textboo itself.

In the bookss for classes I and II a number of rhymes are included
to help learners master the rhythm of the language. The rhymes are
very simple and children enjoy saying these rhymes after the teacher.

Listening to stories begin half way through the first year and
continues throughout the cource (four years) in class I the teachers
may use a bit of the learner’s mother tongue and reduce the use of it
gradually. Let the children use English. Do not insist on grammatical
accuracy to begin with. Let the learners feel confident that they can
speak English like eny others.
The Textbook Society expresses grateful thanks to the chairperson,
writers and scrutinizers for their sincere efforts in priparin g the books
and making them intresting.
