Preface

The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 and National Curriculum
Framework 2005 are two important events that have influenced primary education in our country. In the State of
Maharashtra, too, the curriculum was revised to reflect their guidelines and expectations. We are happy to place
this My English Book Five based on Primary Education Curriculum 2012 in your hands.

The RTE Act emphasizes all round development of the child, as also learning through activities, discovery
and exploration in a child-friendly and child-centred manner; making the child free of fear, trauma and anxiety
and helping the child to express views freely. We have tried to design our textbooks so that these principles become
a part of the teaching-learning process.

My English Book Five is meant for use in non-English medium schools. It is prepared in such a way
that any primary teacher will be able to handle English as a subject in the fifth standard. Also, we have taken
into account the environment in which the children are placed and which requires a knowledge of English. The
textbook aims at helping children learn English joyfully through graded and engaging activities. We have tried
to give children a systematic exposure to English so that gradually, they get a grasp of the language. In many
places, we have provided specific instructions to the teachers. They will enable the teachers to deal with English
in a non-traditional manner and will help reduce the burden on the child. Parents and guardians will also find the
instructions useful. The textbook has been prepared in a big size with plenty of colourful illustrations to enhance
its visual appeal for children. We hope that children will enjoy handling this textbook throughout the year.

The English Language Committee and the artist Reshma Barve have taken great pains to prepare this
textbook. A draft of this textbook was reviewed by the panel of English teachers and experts. Their comments and
suggestions were considered carefully while finalising the textbook. The Bureau is grateful to all of them.

We hope that the textbook will receive a warm welcome from students, parents and teachers.
