What You Will Learn in First Grade English
I’m Jennifer, and I’m excited to join you on your learning journey this year. I’ll be teaching you how to learn English easily. Let’s dive into what your first-grade English syllabus has in store for you.
Overview of Your First Term English Book
Your first-term English book for Standard 1 is divided into three units. Each unit is designed to be covered in one month, making the learning process smooth and enjoyable. The characters Valli and her pet, Chitu, will be your companions, introducing the themes of each unit in a fun and engaging way.
Themes You’ll Explore
Each unit is built around child-friendly themes such as pets, play, and family. These are topics you can relate to and find interesting. Let’s take a closer look at what you will be learning this month in Unit 1.
Unit 1: Pets
- Main Characters: Valli and her pet, Chitu
- Theme: Pets
- Learning Focus: Naming things and exploring the world around us through the lens of pets.
In Unit 1, you’ll explore the world of pets with Valli and Chitu. This unit will help you learn the names of things you find around you. It’s a great way to start learning English by associating words with familiar objects and contexts.
How to Use Your English Book
Your English book is designed to make learning meaningful and enjoyable. Here’s how you can make the most of it:
- Follow the Units: Each unit is structured to introduce new concepts and vocabulary in a fun way.
- Engage with the Characters: Valli and Chitu will guide you through the lessons. Pay attention to their stories and the themes they explore.
- Talk About Your Pets: If you have pets at home, try talking about them in English. Share stories about what your pets do and how they behave.
- Learn Through Play and Family: Use the themes of play and family to connect with the content. Think about your own experiences and how they relate to what you’re learning.
Practical Tips for Learning
- Pause at Commas: When reading, remember to pause where there are commas. This helps you understand the sentences better.
- Relate to Real Life: Make learning personal. Talk about the pets, play activities, and family moments in your life.
- Practice Speaking: Don’t be shy to speak in English about what you’re learning. The more you practice, the better you’ll get.
