Bloomsbury—An Activity-based Integrated Course for LKG, UKG and Classes 1 to 5 has been designed and formulated in accordance with the guidelines of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.The series comprises a set of fourteen books, two for each class and one per semester. Semester books for LKG and UKG include English, Mathematics and Environmental Science. Semester books for Classes 1 and 2 include English, Mathematics, Environmental Science and General Knowledge. Semester books for Classes 3 to 5 include English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and General Knowledge.

The series is strictly aligned with the basic tenets of NEP 2020. Thus, a lot of emphasis has been laid on promoting
activity-based and experiential approach to learning. The series also seeks to develop the core twenty-first-century
skills in learners, which lie at the heart of NEP 2020. Besides, great care has been taken to make learning a joyful
experience for the learners. All this will together lay a strong foundation at the primary level and lead to the holistic
development of the learners at each level.

Some of the key features of the series are:

• Key concepts supported with visual activities, games and real-life examples
• Carefully-graded and comprehensive exercises to facilitate true evaluation
• Online support in the form of animated lessons, interactive exercises, topic-wise videos and E-books
(For Teachers only) as per the requirement of the subject
• Teachers Resource Book to facilitate teaching
 

ENGLISH
The content for English is a perfect blend of the best of both worlds—past and present. The selections are based on the learners’ interests, and, therefore, will not only easily arrest their attention but also facilitate longer retention. The graded exercises lay appropriate emphasis on learning the four basic language skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. Grammar Section in each book offers simple and clear conceptual understanding.
 

MATHEMATICS
The Mathematical concepts have been dealt with in an interesting and comprehensive manner. This way even an average child will have no difficulty in grasping the fundamentals. The series follows a graded and spiral approach, keeping in mind the age and level of understanding of the learner.
 

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
NEP 2020 lays emphasis on promoting the spirit of analysis and questioning because it has been increasingly felt that children learn more through talking, observing and discussing with others. This approach has been adopted in EVS content.
 

SCIENCE
The content in this section emphasises meaningful learning of science for the overall development of learners. It focuses on helping children understand their natural environment and correlate science with their everyday experiences in an interesting and comprehensive manner.
 

SOCIAL STUDIES
A totally new and innovative approach to teaching social studies has been adopted in this section. The lessons enhance the learners’ life skills and equip them with a high civic sense and arm them with an ability to face the challenges in life with confidence, and as responsible citizens.
 

GENERAL KNOWLEDGE
The main objective of the General Knowledge section is to create a sense of wonder in the learners and arouse in them a desire to learn and find out more about the world around them. We look forward for feedback and constructive criticism from the students, teachers and parents, which will be given due consideration in the future reprints and editions of the books.
