                                I prepared these videos to practice and learn the TELUGU GUNINTHALU - తెలుగు గుణింతాలు for beginners and slow learners. I have posted Telugu reading videos in my previous posts. After learning those words, we introduce the pattern of Telugu Akshamala. Those practicing videos also posted in my previous post. Once children have learned and identified the simple words ( సరళ పదాలు ) and Aksharalu ( అక్షరాలు ) we start Guninthalu ( గుణింతాలు). I have introduced four letters and a few OTTULU only in each video as per the learning style and cognitive level of the low-performance children. Because they cannot learn the whole GUNINTHAM in a single attempt and learning will be a burden to them. It leads to disinterest to learn the Gunitham and backwardness in the subject and skills.              Nowadays, language experts and educ...

                    Here I prepared two videos to practice the Telugu alphabet and recognize the letters in a random way. Especially these videos help the teachers to create interest among the children and reduce the work burden and children for self-learning. Though these are regular videos they will help the teachers to learn the alphabet for Dyslexia and low-performance children. Because of the new way of teaching the TELUGU language is changed from "Letter to the Word" to "Word to the Letter" since learning happens from known to unknown. So once you are taught the words then you need to introduce the alphabet in the particular word. So in this word-based teaching, you need to practice the alphabet separately between the periods. So these videos may help your children to learn and memorize the alphabet better than traditional teaching.                   This is the vide...

                        I have prepared these videos especially to develop the language skills of low-performance children. The Dyslexia children in my class showing great interest when teaching use these videos. And normal children are more interesting and learning also increasing very rapidly while using these videos. This teaching method also got published by the British Council and Center Square foundation jointly as one of the best top 20 teaching Methods in India for the year 2017 in the magazine " Teaching With The Technology - Case studies from India."                        Nowadays children are attracting to the digital content, and I have noticed even such children can sing the difficult rhymes and movie songs though they not yet good in studies. So I started teaching with these videos and noticed great change among my low-perf...

Lesson: The Cunning Fox Class: 3rd grade Skills: Reading, Speaking, and Creative Expression Subject: English.                            Puppetry in Teaching. Puppetry as a teaching tool provides teachers with one of the most inexpensive aids in the classroom. The benefits from puppets are many. They allow children to escape into an imaginary world. They are able to use puppets to work out their own emotional problems. In kindergarten and primary classrooms: Puppets are a good way to deliver information to students and help them retain it. Student use of puppets helps them to retell information they've learned and remember it. Teachers can use puppets to demonstrate proper pronunciation to help students develop language skills.                                                 T...
