How to Study with NCERT Class 1 Books
- Read one Mridang lesson aloud together, then let your child point at the pictures and retell it.
- Do the Joyful Mathematics activities with real things at home: spoons, buttons, fruit.
- Keep it short. Ten to fifteen minutes a day works better than one long sitting.
- Print the pages with drawing and colouring work instead of using them on screen.
