To make reading and writing easy for beginners


To make reading and writing easy for beginners
**************************************
→ Start with 3 letter words - rhyming words are more preferred.
Eg. cat, rat, pat , pot, cot, lot etc.

→ Give an idea about vowels and how they help in changing sounds like “a” is used as “aa” in Malayalam, “e” is used for “ottappulli”, and so on for all vowels.

→ Give several examples, display them in charts. Highlight the vowels with different colours.
Part, mark, fan,
Set, bed, pen
Charts like this should be prepared for all vowels.

→ After giving lot of reading and writing practices, ask them to find such words in their text books or news papers or comics, and let them note it down.

→ Write small stories and sentences for these children and give reading practices.

To make them speak
→ Teacher should talk very simple sentence frequently, not only in English periods, but in other periods too, when the situation is suitable.

Eg: How are you? Shall we start, let’s sing, I am tired, who is absent etc.

→ Talk about favourite things.

Eg: I like paayasam. It is very sweet.
My mother gave me a blue dress. It has pink buttons.
Ravi likes bike. He rides very fast.
I went to the beach. I played in the water.

→ After giving such examples, ask them to speak about their favourite things. Teacher should boost their confidence by giving scaffolding and encouragements like claps. They may not speak initially, then ask them to write down their ideas and read.

To make them write
→ Start with small sentences. Here too teacher’s version is used first.

Show them some object and describe it.
Eg: This is a small flower. This is red in colour. It has five petals.

Ask a student to stand and describe him/her.
This is Sonu. He is a tall boy. He is wearing black sandals.

This kind of practices will show some result within 2 months. Teacher should be very patient. Can’t expect a leap in a short time. 

All the best

  1. One Ms.Krishna Priya requested for

    " new modules to take 40 minutes classes, which are interesting, covering all the language elements to primary students
    1)who cant even read English words properly
    2)who can read but cant write sentences
    3)who can read but make so many mistakes while writing "

    I sent her request to Ms.Suja Ramesh. The very next day Suja teacher sent me this post. You can imagine the pain and interest she took in preparing this post. But no body including Krishna Priya has commented anything as an encouragement.
