Practice worksheets for Preparatory School - 6. Varna/Matra

 This is the sixth and the last post in the series of practice worksheets for little ones. They have to identify the image and match the correct word with it.

They can complete it in a play-way method sitting in groups. This can be just a revision to test how well they have understood matras, varna (swar/vyanjan).

I hope these worksheets are helpful for your kids. If you are visiting or following my blog then leave a comment as feedback and follow my blog.

Happy teaching!!!!

Practice worksheets for Preparatory School - 5. Varna/Matra

 This is the fifth post in the series of the practice worksheets for the kids to test how well they have understood the concept of matras, Swar (Vowels) and consonants (Vyanjan). 

 The use of correct varna (alphabet) and the matra is very significant in learning the Hindi language. At times the incorrect use of alphabets or matra, not only changes the word but also the meaning. e.g.

                                   साथ - along/ with      सात  - seven (number)

                                   ओर - side                  और - and

                                   दिन - day                   दीन - poor

                                   गदा -  mace                गधा -  donkey

Reading stories and conversations in Hindi helps a lot to overcome such mistakes.

Practice worksheets for Preparatory School - 4. Varna/Matra

 This is the fourth post in the series of the practice worksheets for the kids to test how well they have understood the concept of matras, Swar (Vowels) and consonants (Vyanjan). 

The group activity for these types of tests is advised and also help them to recapitulate what they have learnt so far. 

In this set of worksheets, kids have to identify the image and the matra on the vyanjan (consonant). Kids love colouring so after or before starting the worksheets they can enjoy colouring the images.

Help them to identify the image and the correct pronunciation. It would also increase their vocabulary and pronunciation.

Practice worksheets for Preparatory School - 3. Varna/Matra

 This is the third post in the series of the practice worksheets for the kids to test how well they have understood the concept of matras, Swar (Vowels) and consonants (Vyanjan). 

The group activity for these types of tests is advised and help them to recapitulate what they have learnt so far. 

In this set of practice worksheets encourage them to identify the image, pronounce it and then choose the correct sign/matra. 

As I've always stressed one point is that Hindi is highly phonetic and the pronunciation of any Hindi word can be reliably predicted from their written form which is in strong contrast to English.

At times I've observed that when Hindi words are spoken with incorrect pronunciation then we tend to make mistakes in the written form. Many new words have been included in Hindi and one can not say that they are wrong e.g.-

  चाभी/चाबी   (originally the first term is correct but the second version is also accepted)

Practice worksheets for Preparatory School - 2. Varna/Matra

 This is the second post in the series of practice worksheets to test the progress of young ones to understand how well they have understood the concept of Hindi vowels (Swar) and Consonants (Vyanjans).

It’s always better to test their knowledge in a play-way
method. So settle them in small groups and help them to recapitulate what they have learnt, then start with the Practice sheets.

Encourage them to identify the picture and pronounce the names, then write the correct alphabet/varna under it. The second step is to arrange the alphabets in the correct order.

In the last two worksheets, the Swar and Vyanjan have to be sorted out after identifying the alphabets and to be written in the correct order.

Practice worksheets for Preparatory School - 1. Varna/Matra

 Hindi is highly phonetic; the pronunciation of any Hindi word can be reliably predicted from their written form which is in strong contrast to English.

I’m posting a series of practice worksheets to test the progress of young ones as to understand how well they have understood the concept of Hindi vowels (Swar) and Consonants (Vyanjans), Matras and the words.

It’s always better to have a group activity first to recapitulate what they have learnt and then start with the practice sheets.

The kids have to pronounce the names of images related to each alphabet/matra and have to connect the correct image.

 I’m sure kids are familiar with all the images, which are from the earlier worksheets posted here on the blog. e.g.  Pictorial varnamala, Swar Vyanjan matra, shabd banao etc.

Primary school - Swar Vyanjan - Matra Visarg (अ:)


The origin of vowel अ: is from Brahmi. It is used as a matra with Swar and Vyanjan but is not written in its original form like other vowels like अं,आँ ….

Matra of अ: appears frequently in Sanskrit texts/words. Sanskrit words (तत्सम शब्दwhich often appear in Hindi  have matra of अ:.

·  Matra of अ: resembles the punctuation mark colon (:). So it should not be confused with the colon.

·    Pronunciation of अ: is ‘ah’ or ‘ih’ preceding the vowel.
   eg.-

     देव: - दे + व् + + अ: - देव:      (ah)
             ईश: - ई + श् + + अ: - ईश:     (ah)
            गुरु: - गु + र् + + अ: - गुरु:       (u ah)
            मति: - म + त् + इ + अ: - मति:  (ih)

I am uploading worksheets with some information about the use of vowel 'अ:'. Hope it is helpful to parents and kids to understand the matra of ‘Visarg'.
Happy teaching!!!!!
