Elaborations
- recognising and reproducing the sounds and letters of spoken and written Hindi
- building phonic awareness by recognising and experimenting with sounds and focusing on those that are new and initially difficult, such as त, थ, ग, घ, ट, द, ध।
- learning how the Hindi sound system is conventionally represented in the Devanagari system by the use of 13 letters classified as vowels (अ-अः) and 33 consonants (क-ह and ड़-ढ़)
- developing pronunciation skills by singing, reciting, reproducing and mimicking alphabetic elements in context
- understanding how vowels are pronounced without any obstruction of air coming out of the mouth and consonants are pronounced with obstruction of air by different parts of the mouth
- recognising that a line on the top of written letters joins them to make words and establishes spaces between words बस, घर। अब घर चल।
- practising the writing of Devangari letters ‘hanging’ from a line, noticing the difference between this and English, where letters are written above the line क ख ग - a, b, c
- recognising the matra form of vowels, such as ि, ी, and distinguishing long and short vowel sounds, such as ि, ी
- identifying and practising pronunciation of vowel sounds with consonants, for example, कइ/कि, कई/की
- understanding the formation of conjunct consonants such as क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ
