Instructions on the implementation
of Early reading and writing with comprehension and Early Mathematics under Padhe
Bharath- Bade bharath for class I and II
Introduction: MHRD has launched Padhe Bharath-Bade Bharath
abhiyaan in the year 2013-14.
What
is the need for a special early reading writing and early mathemetics
programme?
According to ASER (Annual Status of
Education Report) India has achieved 96% enrollment. But we cannot say the same
for learning achievement for class I and II children. So to make school heads
and teachers feel more conscious about the achievement levels of children MHRD
launched this programme. All national and state level achievement surveys show
poor performance by class I and II children in reading and writing. Children
who fail to learn to read in the first two grades of school are likely to fall
behind and have difficulty in learning other subjects as well further giving
poor results. Poor readers can not develop proper writing skills and are
vulnerable to drop out of the education system undermining the quality of life
and productivity of human resources.
Reading
with comprehension and writing with a purpose:
Class I and II are important stages for
developing the important skill of reading with comprehension and writing with a
purpose. A child should understand what he/she is reading. Reading is as
interaction between the text and the reader that means the child should be able
to identify, correlate basing on the real life experiences she/he acquired till
that age. When this ability develops gradually a child’s creative thinking, critical
analysis also develops and they will perform well in all other subjects.
So for overall development of child, reading
with comprehension is the most important skill we have to develop in the
children. Writing purpose should not be to score marks to do well in exams.
Writing should have a purpose. The child should write what she/he understood
not what she/he remember. Applying the same logic to mathematics, math also
taught in a way that to accelerate children’s mathematical skills by teaching
them mechanical rules at the expense of understanding and intelligent
application.
Therefore there is a need to help the children
learn mathematics in a way that develops liking and understanding of the
mathematics during early years of schooling, particularly in classes I and II.
Recently the MHRD has launched the Rashtriya
Aavishkar Abhiyaan a five year plan for
improvement of Science and Mathematics Education, targeting the students of
6-18 yrs, which needs a strong academic base at early stages let us plan and
implement padhe bhaarath bade bhaarath with vigor and determination.
The
two tracks of Padhe Bharath-Bade Bharath are:
1. Early Reading and Writing with Comprehension
2. Early Mathematics
Objectives:
1. To make children fluent readers and make them
understand what they are reading. Making them achieve learning levels
appropriate to their class of study.
2. To make children understand and solve simple
mathematics and making them develop their own problem solving methods by the
way of numeracy and spatial understanding skills.
3. To associate reading and writing with the
experience of joy and real life situation.
4.
To
make children not to feel alienated from the home in the home-school transition
by providing them children literature.
Action
Plan for implementation in schools:
School
level plan (only for classes I and II): it extends Class III to V
What
HM has to do?
1.
Wherever possible one teacher for class I and
one teacher for class II should be allotted.
2. We have around 220 school working days, 800
instructional hours (in 220 days) in an academic year. In which 500 hrs are for
language and 300 hours are for Early Mathematics.
3. Out of 4 hrs/day, 2 and half hours could be
allotted to reading, writing and language and 1 and half hours for Early
Mathematics i.e. in week 15 hrs for language and 9 hours for mathematics.
4. HM should prepare the time table, allot and
instruct teachers to teach language and mathematics accordingly.
5. HM should personally monitor achievement
levels of class I and II once in every 15 days allotting one hour to each
class.
6. Accordingly she/he should guide or help
teachers to improve their performance.
7. HM should ensure that class I and II teachers
have minimum 95% attendance.
8. HM should ensure that 45 teacher working
hours per week (teaching and preparation). Ensure that the teacher step into
these classes with adequate preparation and with teaching learning materials.
9. HM should make it sure Reading corners implemented in schools effectively, procure
children literature if already not there and should check whether appropriate
literature is there.
What
a teacher of class I and II should do:
1. Teacher should ensure that the children who
are coming for the first time to school should not fear teacher that means
teacher should talk with children in a friendly way and should never use harsh
tone.
2. Use
simple friendly and clear language in classroom avoiding commands.
3. Teacher should not be very strict about
learning of children.
4. Teacher’s plans should be flexible according
to children level and specificities.
5. Special care towards children who lag behind
in studies.
6.
Do
not ever discourage or scold low learners and children with learning
difficulties.
Classroom
level plan: HM and class teacher should take following aspects seriously and
implement them.
Ø Light and ventilation should be proper in the
class.
Ø Black boards should be easy to write i.e. colour
and height. Wherever possible running blackboards should be arranged.
Ø I and II class room must have reading corner
where
§ Attractive children literature (age
appropriate) should be easily available for children, prominently displayed.
§ Provide facility to read at school or take
home.
§ Every class should display children’s
writings, drawings, collections, pictures with captions, children’s birthday
dates, class responsibility chart, pictorial stories etc.
§ Encouraging children to share their
experiences in their own language and accent.
§ Encourage children to express their
mathematical findings and later gently pointing out errors if any.
§ Provide a welcome space for parents and
community members in classroom.
§ Allow freedom of mobility to children in
class while working in groups and reading from reading corner.
§ Children can be divided into small groups
with house names like flowers, fruits, animals etc. For example if 10 children are there 3 houses
banthi, chamanthi, rose etc. can be formed.
Class
room and community:
·
Showcasing
children’s accomplishments (in reading, writing, numeracy etc.) in parents
meetings and in community events.
·
Take
children to visit fairs, post office, police station, local body, diverse religious
cultural institutions to celebrate local diversity.
Assessment:
·
Teacher
should have a base line assessment of each child at the beginning.
·
Regular
monitoring of children’s achievement.
·
Feedback
from children, parents and peer group.
·
Use
of CCE to review the teaching plan and to work for improved learning
performance of children in reading and writing and mathematics.
·
Due
Weightage in children assessment could be given for oral, practical work, and
group work.
Monitoring
System:
MEOs should monitor schools regularly and
inspect (classI,II& III&V) all components of early reading and writing
with comprehension and early mathematics programme viz.
·
Amenable Learning environment
·
Enabling
classroom transaction
·
Connecting
classroom with community
·
Assessments
·
Monitoring
and review the CCE results of every child in comparison to set learning
indicators.Share This:
