DEAR PARENTS                                                                                    17/7/2015

 

   I CONSIDER MYSELF PRIVILEDGED TO BE TEACHING ENGLISH TO YOUR BUBBLY CHILDREN IN CLASS 7A AND 7E. IT GIVES ME IMMENSE JOY TO TEACH THEM ENGLISH AND I CONSTANTLY DREAM TO SEE THEM BECOMING GENTLEMEN IN THE AREA OF SPECIALIZATION IN FUTURE.

YOUR BOYS AS THEY ALL KNOW I CALL THEM AS MY BOYS ARE VERY LOVING ,ENERGETIC,ENTHUSIASTIC AND ARE READY TO INTAKE KNOWLEDGE THAT HELPS THEM GROW.

 I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR EFFORT TO HELP THEM LOVE THE LANGUAGE ENGLISH AND MAKE IT MORE ENJOYABLE AND STRESS FREE.

SOME EASY AND AFFORDABLE ACTIVITY THAT YOU CAN PRACTISE AT HOME-

1. MANY OF OUR HOMES DO GET THE ENGLISH NEWSPAPER IN THE MORNING.THIS ENGLISH NEWSPAPER CAN HELP YOU WORK ON IMPROVING THE COMPREHENSION SKILL.

STEPS –MARK A PARAGRAPH IN THE NEWSPAPER ON THE

               SUBJECT OF HIS INTEREST.

            -FRAME QUESTIONS ON THE MATTER TO CHECK HIS

              UNDERSTANDING OF INFORMATION.

            -FRAME QUESTIONS TO IDENTIFY WORDS .

            -FRAME QUESTIONS TO HELP HIM EXPRESS HIS VIEWS

              ON THE MATTER GIVEN .

      .

2. LET THIS BE A REGULAR TASK TO BE MAINTAINED INTO A 100PGS. OR 200PGS. BOOK.
3. GIVE HIM VARIETY BY FOLLOWING PASSAGES FROM HIS BALBHARATI TEXT BESIDE THE OTHER FROM THE NEWSPAPER.
4. IAM SURE YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE YOUR CHILD DEVELOPING ON HIS COMPREHENDING SKILL WHICH IS THE BASIC SKILL TESTED TODAY IN ANY LANGUAGE PAPER .
5. THIS WILL ALSO HELP YOUR CHILD TO UPDATE HIS KNOWLEDGE ON CURRENT AFFAIRS BESIDES HIS REGULAR SCHOOL TEXT.
6. PARENTS YOU WILL SAVE ON MONEY THAT GOES IN BUYING BOOKS THAT HAVE LIMITED PASSAGES FOR DEVELOPING THIS WRITING SKILL
7. TAKE MY ADVICE THIS WRITING SKILL CAN GET DEVELOPED ONLY BY REGULAR PRACTICE.
8. FINALLY I REQUEST YOU TO CORRECT THE WORK OF YOUR CHILD SO THAT HE KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS HIS SPACE FOR IMPROVEMENT.
