Start Day 1

36 days, in the book’s own order

Every lesson in the textbook is taught over three short days rather than one long sitting — because ten minutes is a thing a child does on a bus, and forty is a thing somebody has to make them do.

Learn

What the lesson is about and the grammar it carries. About 15 minutes.

Practise

Worked examples, then a sheet marked the moment you submit it. About 15 minutes.

Recall

Read aloud, three things to remember, and questions from earlier units. About 10 minutes.

Every third day is a recall day, and it deliberately asks about lessons from one, three and seven units ago rather than the one just finished. Getting those wrong is the point — a thing you have to reach for is a thing you still have in March.

What is included

  • 36 daily sessions following English Reader cum Activity Book (Revised) — Second Language, First Standard, Parts I and II (Karnataka Textbook Society, 2026-27)

  • Read-aloud lines scored for clarity by the platform

It does not reproduce the textbook, and it is not a substitute for it.
