Find out the odd one

Each card for this exercise is half the size of A 4  paper and laminated. I used books from different Nepali publications. Except for one odd picture, the rest starts with the letter on the top, 

Teaching Nepali adding vowel sign aa

Adding vowel sign  aa to the consonant to make a new word or sound was easy and fun.  The cards with the vowel signs are 5.5 by 4.5 inches. Children put different letters on the vowel sign card and said the new word. They enjoyed reading from the word wall too.

This course is for the LKG. Few guessed the words in the word list by just looking at the picture. The picture is used as hint to help read the words from the list. The words in the list rhymes with the picture.

न त मम  न त बारा by Mela books a perfect book for beginners.
