Nepali for L KG and U KG

Once the children are familiar with Nepali alphabets we have many exercises for further practice. This is usually for the children of L KG and U KG. I chose contrasting colors for word list cards and laminated them. The word list cards are 8 by 6 inches.

Children enjoy Nepali lotto game. The picture cards are 8 by 6 inches and word cards are 2 by 1.5 inches. The picture cards and word cards are pasted on thick cardboard and covered with wide cello tape as I often do. The game is played under teacher’s supervision as children need to read correctly and place the word card on the correct picture. Each picture card  has  few different pictures. They are now familiar with the rules.  I have cut pictures mostly from Nepali book published by Pustak Prakashan Griha Pvt Ltd.

Children  played these lotto games during summer and now they are surprisingly fluent in reading. Teachers make every effort  in guiding these small group of children who are very moody and pampered. They love to show off their talent and call me every now and then to hear them read. My comments and gestures mean a lot to them.
