Early Learner’s Series is an attempt to make the students enthused to wonder, explore,
experience, reflect and act upon their learning. The books in this series have been
thought through and wherever possible we have tried to link them to each other to
make learning more genuine and tangible for the early learners.

The expanse of this series focuses on—Language development, Number sense and
Knowing about the world around. Each of these is further portioned into two to three
levels to be spread over ages ranging from 2 to 5 year olds.

A set of flash cards and Teacher’s Handbooks for books in the series are available.
The Teacher’s Handbooks include:
• worksheets, which could be photocopied for school and home use
• suggested extended activities, their objectives and the concepts involved
• Level-wise cross-curricular references between the main books of the series and

the supportive books—Super Fun Art and Craft, Nursery Rhymes and Colouring
Doodle Books for Levels A, B and C

The Teacher’s Handbooks and Flash Cards are available for free, for the teachers of schools
which prescribe Early Learner’s Series or a part of it.

Hindi books do not have separate Handbooks, but suggested extended activities and
worksheets have been included in the three books of the series itself.

List of books in the series:
• English for Levels A, B and C
• World Around Me for Levels A, B and C
• Number Sense for Levels A, B and C
• Hindi for Levels A, B and C
• Phonics Parts 1 and 2

About World Around Me Books

World Around Me lays emphasis upon the relationships of students with their, home,
school and play. This series further explores the things early learners see around them—
people, professions, places, food, objects, animals, birds and insects. The changes in their
surroundings—day, night and seasons—and the kinds of clothes they wear. The concepts are
tiered into three levels, and they keep growing with increasing complexity at each level.
