NCERT Class 1 English
Class 1 English: Mridang chapter-wise practice
Mridang is mostly rhymes, pictures and short stories. Practice here is about sounds, words and understanding a small story: matching pictures to beginning sounds, putting story cards in order and tracing letters. Reading aloud together still does the most good, and this makes a nice follow-up to it.

Where does the study time go?
For a six or seven year old, school often means leaving home before 7:30 and getting back after 2, and by evening they are tired and cranky. The little time that is left should go to play, food and sleep. So practice has to be short and genuinely enjoyable, or it simply will not happen.
Tuition is fine, and plenty of children need it. But a tutor with eight or ten children in one batch cannot sit with each of them, and cannot always keep track of what the school did that week. Sometimes the tuition follows its own order of chapters, the child ends up juggling two plans for the same subject, and the confusion shows up in the next test.
NoTuition.in gives that small window some shape: the chapter your child is doing in school, a short activity, practice that explains every mistake, and a clear view for you of what needs work.
