Preface

Shubharambha’s Creative Practice Book has been written to meet the
requirement of the students getting knowledge of different subjects
in the same book. There is a trend of teaching General Knowledge,
Science Mathematics, Art and Crafts, Colouring and Cursive Writing
separately .The outcome of which may not be as effective as expected.
This book is the combination of all the subjects which is useful to
understand easily. A keen attempt has been made to make the book
useful and interesting. The exercises given in this book are learner-friendly.
Students will enjoy solving the problems with fun.

It has been experienced that teaching a subject in isolation may not be
effective. This book has been designed to avoid tardiness of students
by introducing different subjects. It focuses on teaching students with a
child-friendly and joyful environment. This book has been written in such
a way that the students learn not only the facts and figures, history and
geography; they also learn conversation, test their IQ, mathematics,
science and other information related to games and sports, IT sector, etc.

This book may equip the students with basic knowledge of everyday
activities including food habits, communication, grammar, etc. It is hoped that
this book will be useful for all the students of different levels since it includes
basic knowledge of different subjects.

Any suggestions towards its further improvement will be thankfully acknowledged
and incorporated in the next edition.
