Systems of language
Understand how words are written using short sounds such as आधा (बच्चा); हलंत (विद्यालय); संयुक्त अक्षर (राक्षस)
Distinguish between similar sounding words; for example, दादी; दीदी; मन; मना; माना
Understand how certain words are written differently from how they are pronounced; for example, the written form बहन is pronounced as बेहेन
Begin to develop a bank of words related to the focus topic and practice writing them using different sentence structures; for example, हवाई जहाज़ उड़ रहा है; हवाई जहाज़ ने उड़ान भरी; पायलट ने हवाई जहाज़ को उड़ाया
Generate language for a range of purposes in simple spoken and written texts by recognising and using context-related vocabulary and elements of the Hindi grammatical system, including:
- recognising that certain words are written differently from how they are pronounced; for example, written बहन is pronounced बेहेन
- using singular and plural forms of nouns and pronouns; for example, मैं; हम; तुम; सब; वह; वे
- using compulsion affecting actions such as हमें विध्यालय जाना होगा।; तुम्हें निबंध लिखना पड़ेगा।
- using सवा (quarter past) and पौने (quarter to) when telling the time
- developing number knowledge for 61 to 80 and using a dozen (दर्जन), a decade (दशक) and a century (शतक)
Build a metalanguage in Hindi to comment on vocabulary and grammar and describe patterns, grammatical rules and variations in language structures
Recognise that spoken, written and multimodal Hindi texts have certain conventions and can take different forms depending on the context in which they are produced
