Start with oral storytelling, picture reading, rhymes and familiar objects before expecting independent reading or written calculations. Include all five Read and Rejoice stories alongside the main English units. Use counters, coins, household shapes and short daily activities for mathematics. Kerala Padavali combines Malayalam language learning with environmental awareness, art, work and health activities; practise its songs, conversations and workbook activities as part of each lesson.
