Dear Children,
Now you are in Standard One. A most hearty welcome! We are happy to
place this textbook My English Book One for Standard One in your hands.
Standard One is the beginning and foundation of education. To establish this
foundation you should be able to speak, read and write in English properly. Until
now you have heard English outside the home. Now you have to learn to read and
write it. This textbook is full of songs, rhymes, poems, stories and activities. It will
make your learning interesting and easy.
There are various types of rhymes and poems. You will be very happy to sing
them and dance to them all together. You will enjoy stories also, to listen and tell.
It would be great fun to make stories from the given pictures. Everyone will be very
happy to listen to your experiences while chatting about pictures in your textbook.
There are many colourful pictures, letters and words you would love to learn.
At the beginning, you will surely enjoy the fun of learning words and letters from
pictures. Learn to read, to look and to say, to write by tracing again and again;
everything is fun. There are also some language games. Learning the language in
a playful manner will help to read the words, sentences and stories and to use them
easily. From all of these you will have the pleasure of learning on your own, Q. R.
Codes have been given to songs, stories, letter groups, picture reading and other
activities too. You will definitely like everything.
At the end of the Standard One, I hope you will be able to speak, read and
write beautifully. Friends, grow up while studying with joy. Wish you all the best
for your studies!

He/She throws the ball to a child and asks the child to tell
it’s name. The child who catches the ball, tells its name.
Then throws the ball to another child asking the same

questions. This game can be conducted on the playground,
also.
The Game of Addition

likes in some categories of word. (Fruits, vegetables, colours,
games etc.) Teacher may use this game frequently for the
revision of newly learnt words in a particular category.
Be quick
Teacher asks the children to listen to the words from

 8.9 The Fox and the Crane

Look, listen and enact.

Once, a fox met a crane.

“Hello, Crane.
How are you?”

“I am fine. Thank you.

How are you?”
“I am fine.
Crane, do you like kheer?”
“Oh, yes. I love kheer.”
“ Then come to my house.
We’ll have kheer.”
Crane went to Fox’s house.
Fox served kheer in two dishes.

“Eat up your kheer quickly. Then, I will give you some more.”

Poor Crane !
He could not eat quickly from the dish.

Fox ate up all the kheer.

He began to laugh, ‘Ha, ha, ha!’

Crane said,
“Fox, come to my house tomorrow.
We will have some more kheer.”

Fox went to Crane’s house.

Crane served kheer in two tall pitchers.

“Eat up your kheer quickly.

Then, I will give you some more.”

Poor Fox !
He could not eat quickly
from the pitcher.
So Crane ate up all the kheer.

Fox learnt his lesson.
