response ability, communicative skills etc.

(ii) To improve cognitive abilities:

• Mini and meaningful chunks of syllabus: In view of the low learning abilities, the whole
syllabus is divided into meaningful, mini chunks integrating minimum levels and academic
standards. A check-list showing the progress of the student in every item is kept in his
profile and updated periodically. Remedial teaching is planned effectively with the help of
this assessment. Thus minimum levels and academic standards are assured.

• Reading Pens: A set of 10 reading pens were used to improve the language ability of the
low level children. As the children are less exposed to language in their home, vocabulary
deficit and fluency problem occurs both in mother tongue and other languages. For that, a
wide variety of language activities, language fests were held.
• Class wise libraries: Books useful to every class were identified by the subject teachers and
established a small library within the class room. The books will be replaced by other books
from main (school) library every month.
