Systems of language
Recognise and reproduce the sounds of the vowels and consonants of spoken and written Hindi by singing, reciting and repeating words and phrases in context
Experiment with forming some letters; for example, write their own names
Generate language for a range of purposes in simple spoken and written texts by noticing and using context-related vocabulary and recognising some first elements of the Hindi grammatical system, including:
- identifying people using singular subject pronouns; for example, तुम; आप; मैं; वह
- recognising gender usage in nouns; for example, मुर्गा; मुर्गी; बकरा; बकरी
- recognising and using the nouns for common objects around them; for example, मेज़; कुर्सी; पुस्तक
- showing understanding by responding to directions; for example, बैठ जाओ; पानी पियो
- using numbers while referring to objects; for example, एक बिल्ली; दो फूल
- developing number knowledge for one to ten
Recognise that language is organised as ‘text’ that can be spoken, written, digital, visual or multimodal
