0 | CBSE | Class1 | English | Foreword
India has a rich tradition of nurturing the holistic development of children during their most formative years.
These traditions provide for complementary roles for the immediate family, the extended family, the community, and formal institutions of care and learning.
In addressing the first eight years of a child’s life, this holistic approach — which includes the cultivation of sanskar which are passed on from generation to generation — has a critical and positive lifelong influence on every aspect of a child’s growth, health, behaviour, and cognitive capabilities in the later years.
Considering the importance of the early years in a child’s lifelong development, the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) envisioned a 5+3+3+4 curricular and pedagogical structure as providing a much needed focus on formal education and childcare in the country during the first five years corresponding to ages 3-8, naming it the Foundational Stage.
Classes 1 and 2 form an integral part of this Foundational Stage, continuing from the ages of 3-6 years, in which a child’s holistic growth is taken care of in Balvatika.
An individual’s lifelong learning, social and emotional behaviour, and overall health depend deeply upon the experiences gained during this critical Foundational Stage.
The Policy thus recommended developing a National Curriculum Framework specifically for this Stage, which would comprehensively guide the whole education system toward providing high-quality education in children’s early years, thereby carrying this momentum forward to the other later stages of school education.
Based on the principles and objectives enunciated under NEP 2020 — as well as on research from a range of disciplines (including neuroscience and early childhood education), on experiences and accumulated knowledge from the ground, and on the aspirations and goals of our Nation — the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) was developed and released on 22 October 2022.
Subsequently, textbooks have been developed to bring to life the curricular approach of the NCF-FS.
The textbooks attempt to connect to the children’s real life by recognising their learning in the classroom and the significant learning resources in the family and the community.
The approach in the NCF-FS is also resonant with the Panchkoshiya Vikas (the development of the five sheaths of human personality) as elucidated in the Taittiriya Upanishad.
The NCF-FS enunciates the five domains of learning, i.e., physical and motor; socio-emotional; cognitive; language and literacy; and cultural and aesthetic, which map to the Indian tradition of Panchkosh consisting of five kosh viz.
Annamaya, Pranmaya, Manomaya, Vijnanmaya and Anandmaya.
Besides, it also focuses on integrating a child’s experiences at home with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that would be developed within the school’s precinct.
The NCF-FS, which covers Classes 1 and 2, also articulates a play-based approach to learning.
According to this approach, books form an essential part of the learning process; however, it is also important to understand that books are only one among many pedagogical tools and methods, including activities, toys, games, conversation, discussion, and more.
This marks a departure from the prevailing system of merely learning from books to a more congenial play-way and competency-based learning system, where children’s engagement with what they do and learn becomes critical.
Thus, the book in hand must be seen as an instrument to promote a play-based pedagogical approach in its entirety for this age group of children.
The present textbook attempts to provide competency-based content in a simple, interesting, and engaging manner.
The endeavour has been to make it inclusive and progressive by breaking several stereotypes through the presentation of text and illustrations.
The child’s local context, which includes traditions, culture, language usage, and rootedness in India and is central to students’ holistic development, has been reflected in the books.
An effort has been made to make it engaging and joyful for the child.
The book integrates art and craft to help children appreciate the aesthetic sense inherent in such activities.
The textbook provides children with situational awareness to understand the underlying concepts relating to them in their own contexts.
Though light in terms of content, this textbook is rich in substance, providing varied experiences and integrating play-way methods of learning through toys, games, and a variety of other activities.
It includes questions that will help children develop critical thinking and problemsolving abilities.
Besides, the textbook has rich subject matter and activities to help children develop the necessary sensitivity towards our environment.
It also provides ample scope for our States/UTs to add/adapt content with local perspectives in the versions that they may develop as per the recommendations of NEP 2020.
NCERT appreciates the hard work done by the committee set up to develop the syllabus and learning-teaching material for the foundational stage.
I thank the Chairperson of this committee, Professor Shashikala Wanjari, and all other members for completing this task in time and in such an admirable way.
I am also thankful to all the institutions and organisations which have generously extended their help and assistance in making this possible.
I am especially thankful to Dr. K. Kasturirangan, Chairperson of the National Steering Committee, and its other members, including those of the Mandate Group, its Chairperson Professor Manjul Bhargava, and members of the Review Committee, for their timely and valuable suggestions.
As an organisation committed to reforming school education in Bharat and continuously improving the quality of all learning and teaching material that it develops, NCERT looks forward to critical comments and suggestions from all its stakeholders to further improve upon this textbook.

1 | CBSE | Class1 | English | About the Book
Language is not only a medium of communication but also a vehicle for the continuous development of human beings.
As per the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, language plays an important role in promoting national development and contributes to the development of a just society.
This policy has given much importance to the development of language and literacy in the education of children as these create a foundation for the learning of other subjects.
NEP 2020 focusses on developing the skills of learning to learn, problem-solving, logical reasoning, critical thinking and creative thinking along with language development at the Foundational Stage.
In consonance with the approach advocated by the National Curriculum Framework 2022 and for Language Education and Literacy at the Foundational Stage, children learn concepts faster in their home language.
Therefore, the primary medium of instruction would optimally be the child’s home language, mother tongue or familiar language.
Hence, here English is considered as second language (L2).
Accordingly a communication-focused approach has been adopted in the English textbooks.
The aim of this book is to enable the child to develop strong oral language skills (adequate vocabulary and oral expression skills) by the end of Foundational Stage.
In addition to oral language development, written language is also being introduced to the learner in a gradual and sequential way.
The textbook takes into consideration the curricular goals, competencies and learning outcomes mentioned in the NCF-FS 2022 and the syllabus developed for the Foundational Stage.
Children learn through observation, imitation and collaboration.
They also learn through concrete experiences, using their senses and acting upon the environment; this has been kept in mind while developing the textbook.
The content included in this book is drawn from the experiences of children and is suitable for their developmental needs as it provides ample opportunities for imagination, storytelling, art, music and play.
The content is also supported with art-integrated and cross-curricular based activities which makes learning fun for the child as well as reflects the life of and around the learner.
Both prose and poetry are centered around the themes of self and society, toys and games, health and hygiene, cleanliness, environment, travel, culture, national identity and patriotism and the values pertaining to Global Citizenship Education (GCED).
Further, the textbooks also encourage the teachers to go beyond the content and use a variety of relevant learning–teaching material depending on the context and the cognitive appropriateness of their learners.
Illustrations are of primary importance and more so in a second language textbook, they are not mere add-ons to the textbooks, but are integral to it.
Through this book, the learners are given ample exposure to the alphabet (both small and capital letters).
Gradual progression in writing from drawing and labelling, simple words to simple phrases and then to simple sentences has been followed.
Plenty of picture-stories as well as colourful and relevant illustrations support all the texts throughout the book to augment their comprehension.
In addition to that, illustrations also provoke the learner’s critical thinking.
An effort is made to present language-learning as a holistic process of thinking, listening, observing, speaking, reading, imagining and writing.
So, a reading activity may be followed by a drawing task or an oral discussion or could be preceded by a discussion on a picture and so on.
A variety of activities, tasks, songs, poems and stories help the learner comprehend and practice the concepts.
These are done through various sections, like ‘Let us sing’, ‘Let us speak’, ‘Let us read’, ‘Let us draw’, and ‘Let us write’.
This not only helps the learner in the process of language acquisition but also builds up their confidence level.
The curricular goals (CG as mentioned in NCF-FS) have been addressed in the textbook.
CG 9.1 ‘listens to and appreciates simple songs, rhymes and poems’ finds ample reflection in the action songs and engaging short poems in every unit.
Young learners are encouraged to think of rhyming words, which addresses CG 9.2.
Words related to familiar objects and events from day-to-day life are found in all the lessons in this textbook.
This is related to CG 9.7— ‘knows and uses enough words to carry out day-to-day interactions effectively and can guess the meaning of new words by using existing vocabulary’.
Further, there are exercises provided for young learners to engage in meaningful conversation, which is very important in L2.
CG 9.3 rightly addresses ‘converses fluently and can hold a meaningful conversation’.
One of the highlights of the book is the focus on communication in each unit, in the subsection titled ‘Let us speak’.
The objective of the activities is to encourage conversation and develop the child’s confidence in speaking in English, so that the child will move progressively towards independent engagement with English language.
Activities such as ‘Join the dots in alphabetical order’ is an example of an instruction that the child needs to understand to complete a given task, as indicated in CG 9.4.
Interesting stories in simple language are provided in the textbook in accordance with CG 9.5 and CG 9.6 which covers comprehension and narration of stories and identification of characters.
A lot of exercises related to phonological awareness have been introduced at regular intervals throughout the book, to address CG 11.1.
Phonological awareness is the ability to discriminate between similar sounding words.
Since a child who is phonologically aware is more likely to become a successful reader, it was important to find ways of developing this awareness through tasks given in the textbook.
Most importantly, children are encouraged to have fun and play with words.
One of the major recommendations of NCF-FS 2022 is the inclusion of knowledge of India.
Indian values and traditions have been presented to the learner in an easily comprehensible and acceptable way.
This has been achieved through aptly placed illustrations, Indian ways of greetings like ‘Namaste’ in ‘Greetings’, exposure to a variety of Indian foods from across the country in the lesson ‘Eating Together’, exposure to a variety of fruits and vegetables found in India in the lesson ‘A Visit to the Market’, and so on.
Chapter 1 of Unit 1 titled ‘My Family and Me’, talks of parts of the body with an emphasis on hygiene; it also helps children to associate actions with words.
Chapter 2 inculcates politeness by introducing the various ways of greeting others, including ‘Namaste’.
Chapter 3 introduces young learners to the concept of family, through a story of a sparrow family, enabling them to learn words related to family members.
Unit 2 titled ‘Life Around Us’, introduces children to the animals and birds in the surroundings.
In Chapter 2, children learn the prepositions ‘up’ and ‘down’ through the familiar Indian folktale ‘The Cap-seller and the Monkeys’.
Chapter 3 emphasises rhyming words, throught the comic strip ‘Catch me if you can’.
Chapter 4 introduces young learners in the farm and around the home.
Unit 3 titled ‘Food’ in Chapter 1, provides a glimpse of the variety of fruits, vegetables and flowers found in our country.
Chapter 2 titled ‘The Food we Eat’ emphasises having respect for food, importance of saying a short prayer before eating meals, and addresses the diversity of food in our country.
Unit 4 titled ‘Seasons’ in Chapter 1 discusses the various seasons, and the changes in temperature, items of clothing, etc.
Chapter 2 has a beautiful story on the colours of the rainbow.
The chapter ends with the colouring of the national flag.
Multilingualism has been interwoven into the tasks and activities with specific guidelines to the teacher, wherever required.
This facilitates the learner to move progressively from the home language to English.
It also helps to shift from teacher-driven classroom to learner-centric classroom.
This book aids in the holistic development of the learner.
The chapters aim at stimulating development of socio-emotional domain of children, through poems and narratives related to their family, neighbourhood and community.
Language and literacy, physical, socio-emotional, aesthetic and cognitive domains have been integrated along with the development of positive habits to create a learning impression in totality for children.
Development of Annamaya, Pranamaya, Manomaya, and Vignyanmaya kosha is an ongoing process which leads to the manifestation of Anandmaya kosha.
The present textbook is a step in this direction.
In addition to the material provided in the textbook, teachers may also use the matter embedded in the QR code.
Further, as suggested in ‘Note to the teacher’ sections given throughout the book, teachers are encouraged to use local stories, proverbs and objects in the classroom, as well as audio and video support from DIKSHA platform.
The textbook is only one tool, learning needs many resources.
This textbook is not the only source of learning.
Children learn much more while observing the environment around them, talking to peers and elders including grandparents, making things of their interest, watching TV, playing with mobile, toys and games, listening stories, poems, doing projects, visiting places of cultural importance and travelling.
Therefore, we, as teachers or parents, need to value this learning which goes beyond the textbook and try to map it with the competencies and curricular goals identified for this stage.
Education of our children is seen as our collective responsibility. | aemr1ps.pdf |

foreword
India has a rich tradition of nurturing the holistic development of children during their most formative years.
These traditions provide for complementary roles for the immediate family, the extended family, the community, and formal institutions of care and learning.
In addressing the first eight years of a child’s life, this holistic approach — which includes the cultivation of sanskar which are passed on from generation to generation — has a critical and positive lifelong influence on every aspect of a child’s growth, health, behaviour, and cognitive capabilities in the later years.
Considering the importance of the early years in a child’s lifelong development, the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) envisioned a 5+3+3+4 curricular and pedagogical structure as providing a much needed focus on formal education and childcare in the country during the first five years corresponding to ages 3-8, naming it the Foundational Stage.
Classes 1 and 2 form an integral part of this Foundational Stage, continuing from the ages of 3-6 years, in which a child’s holistic growth is taken care of in Balvatika.
An individual’s lifelong learning, social and emotional behaviour, and overall health depend deeply upon the experiences gained during this critical Foundational Stage.
The Policy thus recommended developing a National Curriculum Framework specifically for this Stage, which would comprehensively guide the whole education system toward providing high-quality education in children’s early years, thereby carrying this momentum forward to the other later stages of school education.
Based on the principles and objectives enunciated under NEP 2020 — as well as on research from a range of disciplines (including neuroscience and early childhood education), on experiences and accumulated knowledge from the ground, and on the aspirations and goals of our Nation — the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) was developed and released on 22 October 2022.
Subsequently, textbooks have been developed to bring to life the curricular approach of the NCF-FS.
The textbooks attempt to connect to the children’s real life by recognising their learning in the classroom and the significant learning resources in the family and the community.
The approach in the NCF-FS is also resonant with the Panchkoshiya Vikas (the development of the five sheaths of human personality) as elucidated in the Taittiriya Upanishad.
The NCF-FS enunciates the five domains of learning, i.e., physical and motor; socio-emotional; cognitive; language and literacy; and cultural and aesthetic, which map to the Indian tradition of Panchkosh consisting of five kosh viz.
Annamaya, Pranmaya, Manomaya, Vijnanmaya and Anandmaya.
Besides, it also focuses on integrating a child’s experiences at home with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that would be developed within the school’s precinct.
The NCF-FS, which covers Classes 1 and 2, also articulates a playbased approach to learning.
According to this approach, books form an essential part of the learning process; however, it is also important to understand that books are only one among many pedagogical tools and methods, including activities, toys, games, conversation, discussion, and more.
This marks a departure from the prevailing system of merely learning from books to a more congenial play-way and competencybased learning system, where children’s engagement with what they do and learn becomes critical.
Thus, the book in hand must be seen as an instrument to promote a play-based pedagogical approach in its entirety for this age group of children.
The present textbook attempts to provide competency-based content in a simple, interesting, and engaging manner.
The endeavour has been to make it inclusive and progressive by breaking several stereotypes through the presentation of text and illustrations.
The child’s local context, which includes traditions, culture, language usage, and rootedness in India and is central to students’ holistic development, has been reflected in the books.
An effort has been made to make it engaging and joyful for the child.
The book integrates art and craft to help children appreciate the aesthetic sense inherent in such activities.
The textbook provides children with situational awareness to understand the underlying concepts relating to them in their own contexts.
Though light in terms of content, this textbook is rich in substance, providing varied experiences and integrating play-way methods of learning through toys, games, and a variety of other activities.
It includes questions that will help children develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Besides, the textbook has rich subject matter and activities to help children develop the necessary sensitivity towards our environment.
It also provides ample scope for our States/UTs to add/adapt content with local perspectives in the versions that they may develop as per the recommendations of NEP 2020.
NCERT appreciates the hard work done by the committee set up to develop the syllabus and learning-teaching material for the foundational stage.
I thank the Chairperson of this committee, Professor Shashikala Wanjari, and all other members for completing this task in time and in such an admirable way.
I am also thankful to all the institutions and organisations which have generously extended their help and assistance in making this possible.
I am especially thankful to Dr. K. Kasturirangan, Chairperson of the National Steering Committee, and its other members, including those of the Mandate Group, its Chairperson Professor Manjul Bhargava, and members of the Review Committee, for their timely and valuable suggestions.
As an organisation committed to reforming school education in Bharat and continuously improving the quality of all learning and teaching material that it develops, NCERT looks forward to critical comments and suggestions from all its stakeholders to further improve upon this textbook.

about the book
The National Policy on Education 2020 has recognised the importance of developing a strong foundation of learning during the early developmental age (3–8 years) of children emphasising on foundational literacy and numeracy.
In view of policy’s perspective of holistic development of children, the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) has recommended curricular goals, competencies and learning outcomes aligned to the developmental domains such as physical, socio-emotional-ethical, cognitive, language and literacy, aesthetic and cultural and positive learning habits.
As a follow-up of this, syllabus for foundational stage developed by the NCERT includes mathematics and numeracy under the cognitive domain, also emphasising upon integration of all other domains while developing learning-teaching materials for Mathematics including textbooks.
The present textbook of Mathematics for Class 1, i.e., ‘Joyful Mathematics’ has been designed keeping in view the recommendations of NEP 2020, NCF-FS and Syllabus for the Foundational Stage.
Though it may be assumed that a child entering Class 1 has three years intervention in the form of Balvatika 1 to 3 (age 3–6 years), yet in view of diversity in our country, there may be children who are for the first-time getting exposure of numeracy in the institutional setup at the age of 6 years.
This textbook takes care of such situations.
Children at this stage enjoy free play, toys and games.
Therefore, plenty of opportunities are included for play and games within activities while developing various mathematical ideas like spatial understanding, handling numbers, mathematical and computational thinking, etc.
This helps the child in smooth transition from concrete to pictorial and to abstract reasoning for every new concept or competence being introduced.
The Joyful Mathematics for Class 1 has a lot of activities which are expected to be conducted within and outside the classroom, keeping in view the objective of experiential learning for holistic development.
In all the chapters, mathematical understanding is built through playbased activities.
The textbook tries to provide children a feeling that they are playing, and mathematics is being learnt, rather than forcing them to learn mathematics without any joy.
The learning of languages and age-appropriate physical and mental development have been integrated with the book as learning of mathematics does not take place in isolation.
The book provides suggestions to parents, teachers or other concerned like elder siblings, on having a healthy discussion with children through thought provoking questions, stories, poems, etc.
Various mathematical ideas have been presented through selfexplanatory and contextual illustrations keeping in view the differential abilities among children to read words at this stage.
Moreover, such pictures/illustrations also help the children in enhancing their visual and reading comprehension.
The book is designed as text-cum-workbook including opportunities for children to draw pictures, colour them and write appropriately.
The oral discussions with children have been included in all the chapters to help them verbalise or express their thinking process.
This will also help teachers to continuously assess the learning in a non-threatening atmosphere.
The thought provoking practice tasks in the form of questions and activities have been given.
It is also expected that the teachers or parents will develop similar questions for the children to have more targeted skill practice.
The innovative use of the textbook lies with the parents and teachers that will ensure the joyful learning of mathematics among children of Class 1.
A beginning has been made to inculcate logical thinking, analytical skills, mathematical communication and 21st century skills through activities, open ended questions, exploration and discussion in the book.
The chapters are framed as a beginning towards mathematical proficiency by adding conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, adaptive reasoning, and a positive attitude towards mathematics.
The Joyful Mathematics for Class 1 is based on the four blocks mentioned in the NCF-FS 2022.
These are — Oral Math Talk, Skills Teaching, Skill Practice and Math Games, they have been included in all the chapters.
Most of them have been presented in an integrated manner.
However, one can find the following chapters not only aligned to the curricular goal (CG-8) of developing mathematical understanding and abilities to recognise the world through quantities, shapes and measures but also to all other curricular goals as given in the NCF-FS 2022 and syllabus leading to holistic development:
• Oral Math Talk: Maths poems like ‘Finding the Furry Cat!’
and ‘Chhuk Chhuk goes our Train’ in Chapter 1 and ‘Five Little Children in Chapter 5 and picture stories for introduction of concepts, practice and assessment have been included like, ‘Wise Grandmother’ in Chapter 2, ‘Eating Mango’ in Chapter 3, ‘Vanishing Buttons’ in Chapter 4, ‘Going out with Grandfather’ in Chapter 5, ‘Utsav’ in Chapter 9, ‘How Do I Spend My Day’ in Chapter 10, etc.
• Skills Teaching: All chapters have activities that can be done by the child all alone, in groups, or with the help of some elders (parents, teachers, and siblings).
This helps the child in the development of various skills with the guided support of others.
• Skill Practice: Opportunities for skill practice have been included in all the chapters in the form of Let us Do, Projects, and Practice Questions.
• Math Games: Math games and activities have been interwoven in all the chapters throughout the book.
The above chapters have been developed keeping in view the need for developing sensitivity towards environment, values, positive habits, cultural rootedness, and inclusive perspectives in children.
Multilingual perspective is also reflected in the textbook.
Engaging activities also focusing on language development are included in the entire textbook which will trigger interest in children to learn joyfully.
Teachers need to understand the objective of each of the chapters and activities given, their alignment with curricular goals and competencies as included in the syllabus for the foundational stage, and accordingly make a learning plan for children including variety of activities addressing the diverse needs of children.
In this learning plan, teachers need to be the active observants of learning outcomes achieved by the children and their flow towards development of identified competencies under all the curricular goals.
Mapping with learning outcomes and activities given in different chapters is required on the part of teachers if we want to make our education competency-based in true letter and spirit.
Activities given in this textbook are suggestive.
Teachers can develop their own activities and supplement the same with local toys, games or toys created by them and other materials available in the child’s immediate environment for hands on learning with concrete material.
Teachers are free to adapt, adopt and modify the activities as per their contexts and circumstances without losing the sight and aim of development of identified competencies in children at this stage.
Mental challenge and engagement in thought provoking task lead to the better mathematical learning and criticality.
Solving brain teasers, puzzles and riddle provide opportunities to children in addition to their routine learning.
Many age appropriate puzzles have been given in the book.
The child must be engaged for at least a week in finding solutions of a puzzle.
There may be more than one right answer for some of the problems.
Also these puzzles are given to provide joyful experiences to a child.
Thus, child should not be assessed on solving these puzzles.
The chapters of the book need to be supplemented by audio-video aids, e-content, material available in QR codes embedded in the book and other learning-teaching material like kits developed by the NCERT.
This textbook is not the only source of learning.
Children learn much more while observing environment, talking to peers and elders including grandparents, making things of their interest, watching TV, playing with mobile, toys and games, listening stories, poems, doing projects, visiting places of cultural importance and traveling.
Therefore, we as teachers or parents need to value this learning by going beyond the textbook and try to map it with the competencies and curricular goals identified for this stage.
The education of our children is seen as our collective responsibility.

Also these puzzles are given to provide joyful experiences to a child.
Thus, child should not be assessed on solving these puzzles.
The chapters of the book need to be supplemented by audio-video aids, e-content, material available in QR codes embedded in the book and other learning-teaching material like kits developed by the NCERT.
This textbook is not the only source of learning.
Children learn much more while observing environment, talking to peers and elders including grandparents, making things of their interest, watching TV, playing with mobile, toys and games, listening stories, poems, doing projects, visiting places of cultural importance and traveling.
Therefore, we as teachers or parents need to value this learning by going beyond the textbook and try to map it with the competencies and curricular goals identified for this stage.
The education of our children is seen as our collective responsibility.

India has a rich tradition of nurturing the holistic development of children during their most formative years.
These traditions provide for complementary roles for the immediate family, the extended family, the community, and formal institutions of care and learning.
In addressing the first eight years of a child’s life, this holistic approach — which includes the cultivation of sanskar which are passed on from generation to generation — has a critical and positive lifelong influence on every aspect of a child’s growth, health, behaviour, and cognitive capabilities in the later years.
Considering the importance of the early years in a child’s lifelong development, the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) envisioned a 5+3+3+4 curricular and pedagogical structure as providing a much needed focus on formal education and childcare in the country during the first five years corresponding to ages 3-8, naming it the Foundational Stage.
Classes 1 and 2 form an integral part of this Foundational Stage, continuing from the ages of 3-6 years, in which a child’s holistic growth is taken care of in Balvatika.
An individual’s lifelong learning, social and emotional behaviour, and overall health depend deeply upon the experiences gained during this critical Foundational Stage.
The Policy thus recommended developing a National Curriculum Framework specifically for this Stage, which would comprehensively guide the whole education system toward providing high-quality education in children’s early years, thereby carrying this momentum forward to the other later stages of school education.
Based on the principles and objectives enunciated under NEP 2020 — as well as on research from a range of disciplines (including neuroscience and early childhood education), on experiences and accumulated knowledge from the ground, and on the aspirations and goals of our Nation — the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) was developed and released on 22 October 2022.
Subsequently, textbooks have been developed to bring to life the curricular approach of the NCF-FS.
The textbooks attempt to connect to the children’s real life by recognising their learning in the classroom and the significant learning resources in the family and the community.
The approach in the NCF-FS is also resonant with the Panchkoshiya Vikas (the development of the five sheaths of human personality) as elucidated in the Taittiriya Upanishad.
The NCF-FS enunciates the five domains of learning, i.e., physical and motor; socio-emotional; cognitive; language and literacy; and cultural and aesthetic, which map to the Indian tradition of Panchkosh consisting of five kosh viz.
Annamaya, Pranmaya, Manomaya, Vijnanmaya and Anandmaya.
Besides, it also focuses on integrating a child’s experiences at home with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that would be developed within the school’s precinct.
The NCF-FS, which covers Classes 1 and 2, also articulates a playbased approach to learning.
According to this approach, books form an essential part of the learning process; however, it is also important to understand that books are only one among many pedagogical tools and methods, including activities, toys, games, conversation, discussion, and more.
This marks a departure from the prevailing system of merely learning from books to a more congenial play-way and competencybased learning system, where children’s engagement with what they do and learn becomes critical.
Thus, the book in hand must be seen as an instrument to promote a play-based pedagogical approach in its entirety for this age group of children.
The present textbook attempts to provide competency-based content in a simple, interesting, and engaging manner.
The endeavour has been to make it inclusive and progressive by breaking several stereotypes through the presentation of text and illustrations.
The child’s local context, which includes traditions, culture, language usage, and rootedness in India and is central to students’ holistic development, has been reflected in the books.
An effort has been made to make it engaging and joyful for the child.
The book integrates art and craft to help children appreciate the aesthetic sense inherent in such activities.
The textbook provides children with situational awareness to understand the underlying concepts relating to them in their own contexts.
Though light in terms of content, this textbook is rich in substance, providing varied experiences and integrating play-way methods of learning through toys, games, and a variety of other activities.
It includes questions that will help children develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Besides, the textbook has rich subject matter and activities to help children develop the necessary sensitivity towards our environment.
It also provides ample scope for our States/UTs to add/adapt content with local perspectives in the versions that they may develop as per the recommendations of NEP 2020.
NCERT appreciates the hard work done by the committee set up to develop the syllabus and learning-teaching material for the foundational stage.
I thank the Chairperson of this committee, Professor Shashikala Wanjari, and all other members for completing this task in time and in such an admirable way.
I am also thankful to all the institutions and organisations which have generously extended their help and assistance in making this possible.
I am especially thankful to Dr. K. Kasturirangan, Chairperson of the National Steering Committee, and its other members, including those of the Mandate Group, its Chairperson Professor Manjul Bhargava, and members of the Review Committee, for their timely and valuable suggestions.
As an organisation committed to reforming school education in Bharat and continuously improving the quality of all learning and teaching material that it develops, NCERT looks forward to critical comments and suggestions from all its stakeholders to further improve upon this textbook.
