📖 Explanation
Reading means turning letters into sounds and understanding the words. Children read slowly, syllable by syllable, then word by word, and finally whole sentences with expression.
After reading, they answer: कौन? (who), क्या? (what), कहाँ? (where) / ఎవరు?, ఏమిటి?, ఎక్కడ?.
Pictures help guess meaning, and connecting stories to their own life makes reading enjoyable.
Hindi: 'राम बाग में गया। उसने लाल फूल देखा।' Who went to the garden? राम. Telugu: 'సీత బడికి వెళ్ళింది. ఆమె పుస్తకం చదివింది.' Where did Sita go? బడికి.
