✏️ What your child will do
A short story tells how Simran and her brother Jaspreet celebrate Gurpurab at the gurdwara and at home. Your child reads it, writes T or F for four sentences, answers three questions on four-line rules and circles the four things from the story among eight pictures.
🎯 What your child will learn
- Reading a short story with understanding
- Finding facts in a passage – who, what, when
- Telling true and false sentences apart
- Writing short answers on four-line rules
- Learning about Guru Nanak Jayanti (Gurpurab)
👣 How to do it
- Read the story "Simran's Gurpurab" aloud.
- Part A: read each sentence, look back at the story and write T (true) or F (false) in the box.
- Part B: read each question and write the answer on the lines.
- Part C: circle the pictures of things that are in the story.
💡 Tips for parents
- Read the story aloud together first, then let your child read it alone. Stop to explain new words: gurdwara, kirtan, langar, karah prasad.
- For the True/False part, ask your child to point to the line in the story that gives the answer.
- Short answers are fine – "Jaspreet" or "rotis and dal" – but praise a full sentence too.
- Guru Nanak Jayanti is on 24 November this year. Talk about sharing and being kind, and let your child help serve food at home or at a langar.
