Things to keep in mind

  • Praise effort, not only marks. Marks are not the goal at this age.
  • Keep homework short and calm. Don't do it for them.
  • In Gyanmor, leagues stay off for Std 1 to 4, so learning is not a race.
  • Keep screens short and shared.

Questions

What should a child learn in Class 1?

Usually reading and writing short sentences, numbers to 100 with simple adding and taking away, and environmental studies. The exact syllabus depends on the board and school.

How much should a Class 1 or 2 child study at home?

About 20 to 30 minutes a day is usually enough, with reading aloud and play. Short and happy is better than long and tiring.

Can an AI tutor help in Class 1 and 2?

Yes, with a parent beside the child. Guru can explain a textbook page you pick in Gujarati, Hindi or English, and small children can sign in with pictures. Guru is an AI and can make mistakes, so check important answers with the book and teacher.

Does Gyanmor have leagues for young children?

No. Leagues stay off for Std 1 to 4. Streaks and XP reward learning, not screen time.
