Primary School - Conjunct Consonants (Sanyukt Vyanjan) -2

(Continuing from Conjunct Consonant -1)

In Hindi Varnamala there are 4 sanyukt varna, क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र.

·       क्ष – क् + ष

·       त्र – त् + र

·       ज्ञ – ज + ञ

·       श्र – श् + र

The worksheets cover some variables of conjunct consonants. Once kids learn to comprehend these combinations they won’t make spelling mistakes.

The next set of worksheets of Sanyukt Vyanjan - 3 has pictorial sentences. I would be uploading them soon.

Enjoy teaching them with love and patience. Happy teaching !!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Primary School - Conjunct Consonants (Sanyukt Vyanjan) 1

Conjunct Consonants (Sanyukt Vyanjan) are a combination of two or more consonant letters (vyanjans). They are formed by combining two letters with no vowel (swar-अ) sound to it. It often changes the shape of the letters.

From time to time they appear in the text, nothing to worry about these conjunct letters.

·       In Hindi Varnamala there are 33 consonants(vyanjans) and 23 consonants have a vertical line/stroke.

    ख, ग, घ / च, ज, झ, ञ / ण / त, थ, ध, न / प, ब, भ,      म / ल, व / श, ष, स ।

When these consonants are joined the vertical line of the first consonant is removed and connected to the second consonant in full form. e.g –

ख् + य – ख्य / ग् + व – ग्व / त् + व – त्व .........

·        Alphabets like क/फ have a half loop/hook, which is shortened and joined to the next alphabet. e.g. –

क् + ख – क्ख/ क् + य – क्य
· Vyanjan द lacks vertical stroke. The second Vyanjan after द् is reduced in size and placed underneath द. e.g. –

द् + व – द्व,  द् + ध – द्ध,  द् + य – द्य

·        (A) Alphabet r(a)/र has different rule to follow. Whenever a half Vyanjan is joined to r(a)/र, it is reduced in size and a short stroke is attached to the vyanjan. e.g. –

क् + र – क्र,  ग् + र – ग्र, प् + र – प्र

क् + र + म – क्रम, ब् + र + ज - ब्रज

(when we pronounce these conjunct consonants the sound of r(a)/र comes after the half Vyanjan.)

(B) When r(a)/र appears as half vyanjan र् in between a word,  in that case, र् takes an upward curve form above the next Vyanjan. e.g. –

र् + म – र्म,     र् + च – र्च,    र् + द – र्द

क + र् + म – कर्म,    ब + र् + ज - बर्ज
 (It is to be noted that no word starts with र्, it always appears in between the alphabets.)
(C) With ट् (ta), ठ् (tha), ड् (da), ढ् (dha) छ् (cha) र appears as ¼ ª½ below the Vyanjan. e.g. –

ट् + र – ट्र,   ड् + र – ड्र, ......

ट् + र + क – ट्रक,   ड् + र + म - ड्रम 

  

Conjunct Consonants (Sanyukt Vyanjan) may appear complex but with little practice and fun, kids can master it.

Hindi Poems

Hindi poems written by our eminent poets have a special place in the Hindi language. Poems written in simple language is a wonderful way to encourage language development.

I still remember the poems I learnt almost 50 years back. I have tried to compile those poems, simple yet rich in imagery and usage of words by great poets of our country.

Poetry is a wonderful way to encourage language development at the school level. Reciting poems not only builds up confidence but it helps in expression.

These simple poems are easy to memorize and fun to recite loudly in front of audience/in the classroom.

In case readers want any particular poem for their kids, please feel free to get in touch via mail or the comment section. Happy learning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Creative writing -1 Concept Maps

The most agonizing moments for us parents are when kids come from the school with a topic and ask for our help to write a composition in 10 sentences or so. All of us have faced such situations.

While teaching I had a chance to discuss this problem with my sister. She suggested the idea of concept maps. I tried it in my classroom in the form of group activity and kids just loved it. Within no time they started creating their own concept maps, to write short passages as well as essays.

I’ve created concept maps on some very common topics In this post I’m sharing concept maps on four topics e.g. – My father/ mother/ family/ school.               

This is an effort to help kids as well as parents who struggle to write a simple passage/paragraph. Readers can suggest some more topics.

Your suggestions are most welcome, feel free to ask for the printable worksheets in the PDF format.

Happy Teaching!!!!!

Primary School - Swar Vyanjan – 3 Varna Viched ( वर्ण विच्छेद )

In this post of Varna Viched ( o.kZ foPNsn  ) -3, kids are taught to identify the matra of swar and Vyanjan and divide the alphabets of the word.

e.g. -         Q~ $ v $ u~ $ v   & Qu

           ,  $ M+~ $ bZ        & ,M+h   

       Fk~ $ ,s $ y~ $ vk   & FkSyk

These worksheets are for Primary school kids of classes 4/5/6 and the instructions are given in the sheets.

Again I would like to emphasize that group learning and parental/teacher guidance is very important at this stage of learning.

I’m sure that after practising these Varna viched worksheets, kids would overcome the fear of matras. Happy learning!!!!!!!
