HALDIS ADVENTURE
One morning, as Haldi walked to
school, she met a giraffe. The
giraffe wore big glasses and held a book in his hand.
He smiled and said, Good morning,
Haldi.
Haldi looked up at him. Im sorry
to stare, she said, but I have never
met a giraffe like you.
My name is Smiley,
said the giraffe.
Whenever you see
me, you will
smile.
Haldi was
surprised and
happy too.
Then she
remembered

that she would be late for school. So she said to the

giraffe, I would love to talk to you but I must rush to
school or I will be late.
The giraffe said, Not if you ride on my back. If you
climb on my back, I will run so fast that you will feel
you are flying to school. Do you go to school every
day?
Yes, said Haldi. I go to school on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. On
Saturdays I play games at school.
What do you do in school? asked the giraffe.
I learn about the stars, the trees, the birds and
the animals.
That is good, said the giraffe, I love books too.
They are lots of fun. Now jump on my back. I will take
you to school.
Haldi then jumped on the giraffes back and found
that she could see so many things from the top. And
before she knew it she had reached the school
playground. She climbed down. When she turned
back to thank the giraffe, she found that he had gone
away.

Teacher's Pages
Unit-1
As we start this book let us remember a few ideas that were reflected in Book One.
l
We need
to remember that when we teach English at this level, there is also a
transition from the home language to the school language. It is not only a move
d
e
h
s
from the mother tongue to the second and third language, but also a move to
the more disciplined environment of the school, where social behaviour is to be

related to a group of peers.
l
Learning English therefore need not involve the loss of the home language.
l
While
T
i
l
R
b
E
u
C
p
N re
e
b
o
t
t
the child is being exposed to new ideas and worlds, she is still rooted in
present environments; attempts are made in the book to draw on what is

familiar to the child.
l
The book
supports the child's emotional needs and anxieties in order to
strengthen the pathways to learning.
l
By using games and tasks that draw on the imagination, the child will see that
organised play and work have their own rules and discipline. Imaginative
thinking is given a boost.
l
The book
encourages the child to use language in speech and writing, to
express feelings and opinions, to reach out to others, see other points of view
and thus develops as a social being.
l
The child learns through fun and enjoyment, music, games and activity.
There
should be as much movement as possible, so that the child gets to use

language without much conscious effort. All this is provided in the book.
l
Praise the child for efforts and performance; Say thats good or lets try again
o
n
or do you want to change what you have done? rather than using stricter
forms of speech.
l
Be aware
of different abilities amongst the children who are musically
inclined/mathematically inclined/physically active/more introvert? Find

ways to encourage each one to participate actively in the class?
17
? Modulate your voice when you communicate with the class; rephrase in
different words if they do not understand the first time.
? Let children work at their own speed.
In Book Two, emphasis has been laid on all the language skills.
Listening and speaking
Read poems and stories aloud, before you ask children to repeat or recite.
d
e
h
s
Exposure to the sounds of language is important. Do not give meanings, but let
them make sense of meanings by using whatever knowledge of the world and of
language they already have. You are advised to practice the sounds of language
yourself, before you start repeating them in class in Say aloud.
T
i
l
R
b
E
u
C
p
N re
e
b
o
t
t
Speaking on issues relevant to the childs life is to be done in Talk time. Which
language should the child use here? Encourage the child to talk, and help
him/her to increase the use of English. The environment should be motivating,
encouraging and free from stress and fear, for this to happen.
Reading
By now, the child should be reading on his/her own so avoid the temptation to
explain difficult words; instead let them guess meanings by choosing options that
are given in the book or which you can give. All meanings need not be understood
at once; some meanings can come later, after the child realises that her guesses of
meanings may not be according to the context. When reading has to develop, the
child should be given a chance to read with comprehension; reading is not merely
mouthing words.
Writing continues as in Book One, with added focus on the running hand. This is
necessary for eye and hand coordination at this stage. Please see that the child
does not lift the pencil from the book while practising running hand till a word has
o
n
been completed. Also see that the child has the correct grip on the pencil. More
practice can be given for this, but do not overload the child with writing at this
stage. For writing, activities like paper tearing, cutting, pasting, colouring within
boundaries, stringing beads using spoons for transferring rice from one bowl to
another, for, instance are all important means for developing good handwriting at
this stage.
18
Note: If the child is inclined to left-handed writing do not push the child to be a
right-handed writer.
As in Book One, divide the class into groups for activities; call a group by different
names flowers, colours, birds, animals etc.
Dramatise emotions like being shy, happy, excited or angry children.
Unit 1 focuses on what the child's anxieties and uncertainties might be in going to
school from a familiar home environment. The unit tries to help the child
d
e
h
s
acclimatise to the process of the different world of the school. But as said earlier,
it encourages the child to talk of the familiar pets, family etc. and at the same
time tries to ensure that expectations for school exist e.g., personal habits, the
things to pack into a school bag.

good they are, so use this Unit to make every child of your class feel special.
Share this verse with the class after the activity
So what if they are dark or fair,
So what if they are tall or small,
So what if they are 'this' or 'that',
They are your children,
And you love them for what they are.
This is the thought that needs to be nurtured.

The movements, actions, activities of different animals/birds can be

discussed. Poems in their mother tongues can be recited.
Develop listening skills
In this Unit involve the children in playing a silence game. Let them all be
gently guided to listen (to the sound of the fan, rustling of leaves), imagine
(how the wind makes a noise/what the leaves are saying) and then speak
(what they listened to or imagined).
The focus is to develop in children the habit of listening. During the morning
assembly, practise rhymes with actions. If possible, practice of sargam
(music) / breathing exercises too can be introduced.
Develop vocabulary
Put up sight words like butterfly, myna, fish, elephant, candle, kangaroo,
octopus in a rebus form (i.e. words + pictures)
o
n
l
The children
should be introduced to more collective nouns, for e.g;

an army of ants, a bunch of flowers...
l
More exercises are to be given on punctuation.
l
Give children more practice by introducing new words for making plurals.
37
Exposure to language
l
Let children build words related to what they like about their friends, as
when having a game where they can describe other children,

e.g., Sunil is so tall/Rahim is really good. Keep adding names of children
and then have a class activity for the same.
Name

However, now it is time to expose children to listen to two or more sounds

l
to make words more systematically, e.g., when we bring a and t
together, we make a family of at words. After making the concept clear in
their minds, we can show them how to make three-letter words with at,
for e.g., a class game of making new words with at (bat, cat, fat, rat) can
now be continued. Keep adding to the list of words (ab, ad, ag, am, an, as,
et, ed, eg, en, ot, ob, od, og, op, it, ib, ig, in, ip, ug, ub, ut) More can be
added.
Develop writing skills
Units 1 and 2 are an opportunity to revise the writing skills of Book One. This is
also a time for children to listen to words pronounced by the teacher (as in
apple) and create pictures (which can then lead them to sentence formation).
Develop the ability to follow directions
TOP

BOTTOM
Have the children describe what they see in the top, middle and bottom shelf of
a school cupboard. If you do not have a cupboard, let the class be involved in
drawing or making one with a cardboard box and then paint the top shelf
yellow, the middle red and the bottom shelf blue.

Teacher's Pages
Unit-3
This Unit widens social horizons of children and is a good opportunity to

introduce the importance of good manners and courtesy, where children
speak in turn, do not interrupt or shout. They must also be asked not to be
aggressive on the playground. A smile and consideration for others can
achieve much more than arrogant or aggressive behaviour, or the use of
force and violence. Let the children talk about something they achieved
through gentle means, e.g., taking a book back from a younger sister or
brother before it is torn without snatching it from their hands. Discuss the
meaning of being a bully and whether they ever bully others.

Read the poem and the play aloud with expression and actions. The class
can be asked to guess the meaning of the difficult words. Avoid explanation
as much as possible, especially of poems. Let them arrive at their
own meanings, which they can change or modify by listening to class
discussions and to other children.
l
This
will also give you an opportunity to observe if children are

listening. If you feel that they are fumbling, you can backtrack and
involve them in reading the poem and the prose aloud.
l
All meanings need not be explained immediately.
Group Time
Discuss with the class how the sun brings light, warmth and joy to the
world. Talk also about a world without sunshine and about what would
happen to all the birds, animals, plants, etc.
o

Develop vocabulary
l
Help the
children to enact the play with expression and actions. You

could use a yellow mask with extending rays for the Sun and a grey
mask with chubby cheeks for the Wind, made of chart paper. Coloured
glazed paper could be pasted on it for a colourful effect. Bring a
coat and a handkerchief for the Man. Make sure that everybody
52
participates by making blowing sounds like the Wind and actions like
the Sun.
l
Help the
children with word games (like the picture crossword) and

word building on the blackboard. Explain 'doing' words (these could be
enacted as well), opposites, rhyming words etc. with more examples of
your own. Encourage the children to give their own examples.
Participation of all children is more important than their giving correct
answers, for interest will surely increase the will to learn.

your class in four groups and let them enact the parts of the
wind, sun, a smile, flowers, etc.
Check the students grip on the pencil (the tripod grip) and help individual
children write words from A to Z .

You can write the alphabet and words on cardboard sheets (use old cartons
for the sheet) and hang them in the class.
Let each child write her/his name under the alphabet with which her/his
name starts. If there are letters with which no name starts involve children
in a class activity of coining new names to write under those letters.

The idea in Unit 4, is to further assist children to build their imagination by

listening carefully, reading, speaking and writing sentences.

Developing listening skills

If the breathing exercises have been introduced as suggested in Unit 2, the
children would gradually have learnt to stay calm. Now is the time to show
them how to sit with their eyes closed as if in a thinking pose. Read the poem

slowly and loudly two or three times so that they can take in the beauty of
nature and also be a part of it. Then ask them to open their eyes and read the
text with proper voice modulation. Now encourage them to recite it with
proper actions and gestures.
For listening skills
Play the recorded sounds/use class facility
Jingling of bells can be brought to class.
Gurgling of river water pour water and make swishing sounds.
Make sound boxes by using material like salt, pulses and pebbles. Put
them in a box or cans which you can shake. Children can be asked to
listen to the
honking of horn
banging of a door
ticking of a clock
o
n
If you cannot record the sounds, then think of common sounds that you can
create in the classroom. Ask the students to close their eyes while you make
the sounds. Ask them which sound it is. Introduce the English word for that
sound like soft, hard, low, loud. Let the children say what they feel the
sound sounds like.
69
Develop correct pronunciation
Ensure that the text is read aloud with expression. The difficult words
are then discussed. If there is a doubt regarding correct pronunciation of
the word refer to the dictionary. Let each child be given a chance to read.
The more confident she/he feels in reading, the more motivated she/he
will be.
Dont forget to put up a word-chart of spellings that you want the

and illustrations can be encouraged. As the teacher reads, pupils
become familiar first with the story in spoken language and the
illustration, gradually an acquaintance develops with the print code.
Ask children if they have seen clouds in the sky and the colours they see
in them. Ask them to make sentences.
Try to build up the vocabulary of the children on the different sources of

water.
Other than earthworms and snails discuss with them all the creatures
that crawl e.g. snakes, lizards, crocodiles etc. What are their eating
habits?
Frogs have webbed feet their feet are their gumboots. Name a few water
birds that have webbed feet.
Discuss with them the need for drinking clean water. What are the
o
n
different methods used to conserve and clean dirty water. Guide them to
describe the uses of water.
In the poem The Rain green grass is used. This word green says more
about grass (the naming word), involve children in describing the colours
of objects in their class, e.g. red bag, black shoes, etc.

Introduce children to the following rules

1. Take turns
2. Listen quietly
3. Speak clearly

Before writing the exercise on prepositions
1. Introduce children to sight words 'in', 'on', 'under'.
2. Introduce the preposition using objects available in the classroom, e.g.,

put a book on the table then ask the students where the book is.
3. Talk about fish to children and make sentences on different animals.
4. More activity sheets should be prepared using other prepositions. For

e.g., above, below, in front, behind, at, etc.
Ready to follow instructions
Introduce children to talking on the telephone using polite words
Cardboard/tin boxes can be used to make mock phones in the class. Let two
children take turns to speak on the phone to each other.

Somebody ate my porridge too! said
Mama Bear.
Somebody finished all my porridge, said
Baby Bear in his tiny little voice.
The Bear family went to the bedroom.
Somebody slept in my bed, shouted Papa
Bear in his big, gruff voice.
Somebody slept in my bed too, said

Unit-6
Unit 6 is about further building the childrens imagination to 'think', make

a picture in their mind and then share this image with the class. Discover
how every child sees every story he hears or reads in a different way and
gives a sense of adventure to knowing other people. He learns that each of
his friends has a different picture of Curlylocks.

Develop pronunciation
New words like mischief, quiet, hungry, curly etc., can now be repeated,
hearing and speaking these sounds are more important than writing them.
Use sight words in the classroom by putting them on cards. Let the children
read these words and make sentences.
Reinforce understanding of the way words like big, middle and tiny and
phrases help the reader follow and visualise the action of a story.

No one knew what to do. Each minister looked

No one could think of any way to make it
longer. No one could think of how it could be made

Teacher's Pages
Unit-7
This Unit helps children to gain confidence by not just drawing anywhere but
getting an opportunity to draw on the class blackboard. When done by a
sensitive teacher, this will sow seeds of self-esteem and the I can feeling.

Give the children more creative experiences that enrich their personalities.
This unit shows the children that language is more than talking, reading and
listening. Language creates pictures just as crayons, paints and clay can
create pictures. Help children feel that words can be used to make things
appear vividly.
Help children identify the new words centred on pictures and colours.
Read the lesson and let the children share with you what they feel Birbal was
thinking about. Then give them some inputs/and let them change the ending
of the story as they would have liked. Encourage the children to read more
stories on using wit and humour.
Develop vocabulary
In this section the teacher can use various objects to show children some
comparisons.
o
n
For example: A big book, bigger book and the biggest book.
A tall boy, taller boy and the tallest boy etc.
? Explain the children about different ways of making singular-plurals

(es, ves, ies).
120
? Give more activities of adjectives (Black, sad, happy, long...)

? Talk to children about the different rooms in their house.
Develop reading skills
During the picture story you can walk around in the class. This activity is an
individual activity to encourage children into the habit of understanding and
interpreting the text through the medium of drawing. After the class has
finished drawing, give some time to the children to close their eyes and think.
(clue: relation between cat and mouse. Ans: The mouse would run away seeing
the cat). Now ask the children to write a sentence and then read it aloud.

The Mumbai Musicians

Once upon a time, there lived a donkey
named Goopu. He had worked for many
years in the house of a farmer. He had
carried many heavy sacks of corn and
sugarcane, from the farm to the factory. He
was now very tired and old.
The farmer said to Goopu, You are a
good donkey. Take this sack of corn and go
and see the world, before you
become too old.
Goopu smiled and said
goodbye. He set off
towards the city of
Mumbai.
I am good at
music. I will go to
Mumbai and be a
musician there.
On the way he
met a dog.

Off went the two friends on the dusty road to
Mumbai.
They saw a ball of fur in the middle of the road.
Who are you? they asked.
I am Furry, the cat, said the cat.
Would you like to come with us to become a
musician? asked Goopu and Doopu together.

Unit-8
Unit 8 encourages the children to learn/hear music or musical instruments.

Children can be asked to sing the poem aloud with the class orchestra where
children clap, tap and drum their tiffin boxes, benches, etc. to make the
sounds of musical instruments. If possible, the teacher should show the
children musical instruments before beginning the lesson.
d
e
h
s
l
The teacher can inculcate in children a love for the old and the weak.
Children love stories and as the Unit is read, an emphasis can be laid on the
generosity of the farmer (who not only asked the donkey who was growing
old to see the world but also gave him some corn) by using voice
modulation. This can often be done during fun time.

In the Lets talk section teacher should try to encourage the children by
reminding them the names of various animals that can be kept at home.
l
In the Fun time section teacher should call out the opposites of the twelve
words given in random order.
l
In the Lets write section of the poem, teacher should emphasise the usage
of a by asking the children to pick up objects and name them with an a.

e.g., a pencil box.
l
In the Lets say section see that children distinguish between b and v and
v and w sounds.
This unit calls for a new listening skill. As you read the poem, the children
listen to the sound of words. They grow in their appreciation and
understanding of the beauty and feeling which some words convey. Let the
children read the poem with you until most of them learn to say it. Ask them
how the poem makes them feel.
o

Raising awareness
An exposure to the English language is important. Prepare the child to receive

language. This is more important than asking her/him to learn texts by heart.

The Magic Porridge Pot

Once, there was
a little girl
named Tara. She lived
with her mother. They
were very poor.
One day she went to a
forest. There she met an
old woman. The old woman
gave her a pot. She said,
This is a magic pot. It will cook
porridge for you when you say,
Cook-Pot-Cook. It will stop making
porridge when you say, Stop-Pot-Stop.
Tara was very happy. She ran to her mother
and said, Mother, we will no longer be hungry
as I have got a magic pot.
Tara said to the pot, Cook-Pot-Cook and
the pot cooked porridge. Her mother was very
happy and they both ate porridge.
One day, when Tara had gone out, her
mother felt hungry. She said to the pot, CookPot-Cook. The pot started cooking porridge.

After eating it her mother said, Do not

cook Pot. But the pot went on cooking.
Soon the porridge started spilling on
the floor. Mother called out again, Wait do
not cook anymore. But the pot did not stop.
Mother ran out of the house and the porridge
followed her. Soon there was porridge everywhere.
The whole village saw it. They ran to eat the porridge.
When Tara came back, she saw that the road was
full of porridge. She ran back as fast as she could.
She heard her mother shout, Tara the pot is cooking
and it will not stop.
Tara called out, Stop-Pot-Stop and it stopped
cooking porridge.

Teacher's Pages
Unit-9
The main emphasis of Unit 9 is to further sensitise children to their home

environment. Unit -1 began with 'myself' and 'my own feelings for the world.' A
gradual shift to the child's engagement with experiences, thoughts, feelings
and relationships with her/his immediate family and friends have been subtly
built in from Unit to Unit.
d
e
h
s
l
Love for
elders and sharing and caring for the old is a feeling which when
generated at this young age will go a long way to give children a feeling of
interdependence with their world. It is when this true feeling is expressed
that language will flow (so the emphasis is on language building and not
translation).

Motivate

own words.

Encourage them to look at pictures and talk about them.
l
Read
the story/poem aloud with proper stress, punctuation, rhythm and

intonation, as the children repeat after you.
l
Most teachers will recognise that one childs speech is different from that of
other children. Perhaps a child hesitates, strutters, or blocks when

attempting to communicate. The rhymes and stories in this book will give
the child many successful speech experiences through choric speaking.
l
In Say aloud put stress on the underlined syllables.
l
By this
Unit children should be able to do independent reading and

comprehend the story.

Use of
repetitive sounds or words like cook-pot-cook is a source of joy for

complete the words. Each time they complete one word, they may start a
new word (using a capital letter).

Once there lived a lazy grasshopper. He didnt like to

work. All day long he sang songs and played in the
warm sunshine.
Hee, Hee ! Look at me! Im as happy as can be! The
grasshopper laughed at the hardworking ants as they
worked day and night.
We are storing grain for the long winter ahead,
they replied. The lazy grasshopper only laughed louder.
Summer ended and the cold winter arrived. The
wind blew strong and it started snowing. The
o
n
167
grasshopper now began to worry. There is no food to

eat, no grass, no flowers or leaves. I cant see even the
tiniest fly or worm. What will I do? I will surely starve!
he cried. Let me meet my kind neighbour, the ant!
The grasshopper remembered how the hardworking
ant had stored away grain for the winter. He knocked at
her door. Dear ant, I am hungry and cold. I have
nothing to eat. Please can you give me some food?
The ant shook in anger. Lazy one! What were you
doing all summer? You were only singing and dancing.
You should have thought of the cold winter months
ahead. Go away! She slammed her door shut. The lazy
grasshopper was left as hungry as before.

Unit-10
Unit 10 is the culmination of an attempt to understand that one of the major skills of
learning language is communication. Speech is one of the most important means of
communication.
d
e
h
s
l
The greater the child has mastery over words, the richer the ability to communicate in
the new language.

l
More sounds of animals through stories and poems can be discussed.
l
Children should be encouraged to listen carefully. We should be good listeners as well as
T

l
R
b
E
u
C
p
N re
e
b

t
t
good speakers.
l
The value that comes out of the story The Grasshopper and the Ant has to be subtly put to
the children in such a way that they realise the worth of hard work. The pleasures of hard
work and the comfort it offers. Laziness which is a negative trait here, should be
discouraged, thus emphasising on the positive note which is hard work.
l
You can attempt a small dramatisation too with just a few dialogues.
l
In the section the teacher is to familiarise the children with words like He, she, it, they.
The children can use these words with any nouns.
l
In the Web world section the answer may vary from clothing, food, to the change they
notice in nature. The teacher can give the above words as clues.
l
Explain to children about words used for framing questions
Example: how, can, will, did, would, should.
Enhance the concept of correct spellings. More exercises can be given to improve their
l
vocabulary.
The method used in language development may vary from state to state, school to school
and teacher to teacher.
Sound of letters the child is introduced to the common sounds of the letters thus enabling
o
n
her/him to learn to read by synthesising the consecutive sounds in a word i.e. reading is to
be done by the teacher in a correct letter-sound relationship. Do remember that the age-old
methods of rote learning are not very effective. Create a holistic development of children, let
them learn and experience the poems, the stories and let them derive their own meanings
and endings. Give the children opportunities to move beyond the text and engage in creative
exercises.
