Grade 1
Building on the strong foundation of kindergarten, Grade 1 opens the door to deeper learning and discovery. Children strengthen their language skills and explore new mathematical and scientific concepts, developing confidence and curiosity along the way.
Like in other grades, they learn independently with minimal parental support and without tuitions!
Children Learn
Grammar Slammer – Level 1
✅ In Grade 1, children begin learning grammar for the first time.
✅ They tackle unique, non-repetitive questions across 150 online e-sheets.
✅ The program requires strong reading, comprehension, and reasoning skills.
✅ Children complete these e-sheets independently, without teacher intervention or parental support.
✅ The Grammar Slammer program lays a strong foundation for clear communication!
Proper Nouns
Recognizing and identifying proper nouns.
Demonstrative Pronouns
Children assess object proximity and number, filling the correct demonstrative pronoun – this, that, these, or those!
Tense-Verb
Children analyze tense clues in sentences and select the appropriate verb form – past or present tenses!
Personal Pronouns
Children identify the subject’s gender (he/she), check if it’s singular or plural (it/they), and select the correct personal pronoun!
Irregular Verbs
Some tricky verbs that don’t follow the usual “-ed” rule for past tense are introduced.
Common Nouns
Everyday names of people, places, things, and animals are identified as common nouns. Some sentences may have more than one common noun, encouraging careful reading and critical thinking!
Alphabetisation
Words are arranged in alphabetical order, sharpening sequencing skills.
Auxiliary Verbs & Nouns
Children observe the noun to decide between “is” or “are”, then use clues like “four” or “many” for plurals and “a” or “one” for singular nouns, strengthening grammar and reasoning skills!
Verbs
The action word in sentences are identified as verbs.
Monster Reader – Level 1
The Monster Reader Level 1 program is a game-changer in reading. It is far ahead of traditional 1st-grade English textbooks, both in volume and depth.
E-Books
Children explore 37 engaging e-books throughout first grade, building reading skills progressively from simple texts like “Sun Hat Fun” to more complex stories like “Axel The Truck – Beach Race..”
Embedded Audio
Each digital book includes embedded audio, ensuring proper pronunciation while children follow along with the text.
Comprehension E-sheets
Every e-book pairs with comprehension e-sheets that gradually increase in difficulty, challenging students to think critically about what they’ve read.
Open Book Comprehension
Comprehension e-sheets follow an open-book approach, encouraging children to reference specific story pages when answering questions – teaching them to read, understand, and think rather than memorize.
4x More Reading
Through the Monster Reader program, children read four times more material than typical first-grade English textbooks offer, creating a strong foundation for lifelong reading skills.
Monster Reader Advantage
Unlike traditional approaches, Vidhya Peetham’s method develops authentic comprehension skills as children learn to find information, process it independently, and apply their understanding.
