Primary School - Swar Vyanjan – 1 Varna Viched ( वर्ण विच्छेद )

In the Hindi language, there are 13 Swar (Vowels) which are used as alphabets as well as signs (Matras) with 37 Vyanjans (consonants).

v  vk   b   bZ   m   Å   _   ,   ,s   vks  vkS  va  v%

    &   k    f    h    q    w     `     s    S    ks    kS    a  % 

v is the first swar (Vowel) in the series of Hindi varnamala. It does not have a sign (matra) All the Vyanjan (Consonants) end with the sound of  v.

eg.  dv·] [kv·

  

At Primary level, kids are taught the concept of Halanth ( ~).

Without the Matra of Swar (Vowel) v the consonants (Vyanjans) are written with Halanth ( ~ ). e.g.-  

d~	[k~	Xk~	?k~	³~
Pk~	N~	t~	>~	´~
V~	B~	M~	<~	.k~
r~	Fk~	n~	/k~	Uk~
i~	Q~	c~	Hk~	e~
;~	j~	y~	o~
‘k~	“k~	l~	g~
{k~	=~	K~	J~

  

When all the consonants (Vyanjans) are added the matra of ‘v’ the halanth  ( ~ ) is removed and varnamala is written as follows-

d	[k	Xk	?k	³
Pk	N	t	>	´
V	B	M	<	.k
r	Fk	n	/k	Uk
i	Q	c	Hk	e
;	j	y	o
‘k	“k	l	g
{k	=	K	J

In Varna Viched ( o.kZ foPNsn  ) kids are taught to identify the matra of swar and Vyanjan (consonant) and divide the alphabets of the word.

e.g. -         Q~ $ v $ u~ $ v   & Qu

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

       Fk~ $ ,s $ y~ $ vk   & FkSyk

The second post on this topic contains the graded pictorial worksheets for Primary school kids. Again I would like to emphasize that group learning and parental/teacher guidance is very important at this stage of learning.

Please refer to  Swar Vyanjan – 2 Varna Viched ( वर्ण विच्छेद ) for the worksheets.

Fun with words – 2 One/Many - ( एक/अनेक )

While kids are busy learning to tackle the language exercises in different ways, here is another set of colourful pictorial worksheets about the concept of singular/plural ( एक/अनेक )

The learning objective is to familiarize them with the concept of one/many and also the naming words, noun. 

They should be encouraged to pronounce the words loudly while matching them.

Later this group activity can be shifted to the collection of objects, counting and writing the number while identifying the names. They should be encouraged to speak loudly the singular and the plural form of the objects. 

Our role as a parent/tutor is very important in these formative years. Kids come up with different queries and our patience pays off when we are able to satisfy their curiosity. 

Your valuable suggestions are most welcome. Happy Teaching!!!!

 

 

 

Primary school (Class 1,2,3) – 1 Swar, Vyanjan, Matra

This section of worksheets has jumbled up words and kids have to separate the words as per the instructions given in the sheets.

 These graded worksheets are designed keeping in view that group learning is very effective as it enables kids to improve their thinking skills, motivates them to work in a team, develop communication skills.

Now is the time for the parents/tutors to have patience with little- ones and encourage them to tackle the exercises on their own without fear of failure.

Kids are very observant and once they succeed with one or two exercises rest would be very easy for them to tackle.

Such variety of exercises not only helps them to be observant but they keep revising the varnamala (alphabets) and matras.

I have uploaded some worksheets here in image form, for more such printable worksheets in pdf format please feel free to get in touch. Happy teaching !!!!!

 

Fun with words - 1 Hindi rhyming words ( समान तुक वाले शब्द )

Rhyming words are a great way of learning a language. They help a child to learn new words. It’s fun to learn in a group activity.

While kids do these practice sheets, parents/tutors should make it a point to discuss the meaning of all the rhyming words.

It is not necessary that all words make sense; sometimes nonsensical words are also included in the play way activity.

Some sheets are in the form of the pictorial rhyming words, the words of the images rhyme and kids have to match the correct rhyming pics.

There are total 15 worksheets in this section, I’ve uploaded a few sheets for the reader’s perusal. Please get in touch for the printable worksheets in pdf format. Happy teaching!!!!!
