Dear Parents,

Different types of languages are spoken by people from different regions, but the

most important thing is that any language when spoken should be spoken correctly.

The two common languages that our children should be able to speak fluently are

Hindi and English. Since English is a universal language spoken and understood by

people all over the world, we want our children also to be proficient in speaking it and

for this we need full support and cooperation. We would appreciate if you adhere

to the following points:

1. Speak with your child in English. Encourage reading habits.

2. Read out story-books and after finishing the story discuss it with your child.

3. Encourage Word Building and Picture Talk.

The teachers are trying to encourage the children to use simple words, phrases and
sentences like:-

• May I go to play?
• May I borrow your pencil / eraser / sharpener?
• I have finished my work.
• Madam, may I go to the washroom?
• Madam, may I go to drink water?
• Madam, may I come in please?
• Madam, may I go to the bookshop / tailor shop?
• Madam, may I go to wash my hands?
• Madam, may I go to pay my school fees?
• Madam, may I sit in the front row as I can’t see from the back? Madam,
please repeat the concept as I’m unable to understand it.
• Madam, I have lost my shoes / blazer / tiffin box / water bottle etc.
• Madam, I came late as I missed my bus.
• Madam, I’m sorry. I have forgotten to bring my book, note book, pencil / eraser /
drawing book etc.
• Madam, I’m sorry I couldn’t complete my Home Work as I was unwell(with reason)
• Madam, may I borrow a pencil / eraser / ruler etc. from my partner as I’ve
forgotten to bring it today.
• I am sorry for the delay.
• Could you hand me the book.
• Could you please shut the door.

Use of magic words like excuse me, sorry, thanks, please.

• When asking for something, say “Please.”

• When receiving something, say “Thank you.”
• Do not interrupt grown-ups who are speaking with each other unless there is an
emergency.
• If you need to get somebody's attention right away, the phrase “excuse me” is the
most polite way for you to enter the conversation.
• When you have any doubt about doing something, ask permission first. It can
save you from many hours of grief later.

• When you have spent time at your friend's house, remember to thank his or her
parents for having you over and for the good time you had.
• Knock on closed doors and wait to see if there's a response before entering.

Children can be encouraged to use simple words and sentences at home also. For
example –

• Mummy, can I help you in the kitchen?

• Mummy, can I lay the table today?
• Mummy, should I help you wash the dishes today?
• Papa, can I help you wash the car?
• Grandpa, should I come with you for a walk?
• Grandma, should I help you put the thread in the needle?
• Mummy, can I get you a glass of water?
• Mummy, may I take some more Ice-Cream from the fridge?
• Papa, I’m sorry I was rude to you.
• Papa, please teach me how to ride a bicycle.
• Mummy, can I join the summer workshop in the school?
• Mummy, can I help you wash and soak the rice?
• Mummy, should I cut the salad today?
• Mummy, I will make a cup of tea for you. Please tell me where are the tea leaves.
• Mummy, can you teach me to make cold coffee please?
• Didi, can you help me find my English note book?
• Papa, can we go cycling together today?
