Introduction to hindi letters

. A child is not taught to write alphabets in a sequence, so how and when the child learns all the
alphabets?
The child learns the entire alphabet in pre-school, only not in the order A to Z.

This is because we follow a sequential approach and take the child from simple to complex.

First children learn the letters that are formed based on straight lines like – I, L, H etc

Then the letters which are based on slanting lines – A, K etc

And then in the end letters based on circles and semi-circles – C, O, D etc

The children learn saying the alphabet in sequence through rhymes and songs like the alphabet song

Since writing involves using letters in combinations to form words and sentences, a lot of emphasis
is laid on phonetics, writing direction etc, for each letter.

7. Do the school need to buy the entire set?

No, the school can choose any subjects for any grade. Ideally we should suggest the entire
series so that they get the essence of the learning system, progressively then can feel the change as
they move forward. For example if they use a maths book of some other publishers for class 1 &2,
then 3 & 4 of ours the child will take some time to approach in our pedagogy.

We should always guide the school to take the entire 1 to 5 or 6 to 8 for any subject they choose.

Yes, we can. A proper query has to be done if they are intending to change few classes
existing books.
End of the year ROI will be calculated against the specimen used.

2. How do I get the samples?

There is a format that has to be filled and given to your zonal coordinator.
He in turn will send it to Vikas in HO
The samples will be tagged against your name and will be shipped.

3. Process of sample distribution

Once we hand over the specimen the sample requisition format has to be stamped signed
and handed over to your zonal coordinator or Vikas in HO.
Once we receive the same then it is deducted from your stock allotment.

4. If the dealer places the order then do I get the credit?

Yes, you will get the credit and also your incentive.
In fact routing through dealers life becomes easy. They get it delivered to the school, they
collect the returns, one point payment collection.

The invoice amount will be added to your target achieved.

Incentive will be against collection.
Try not to do dump selling as next year the return comes you will start with the negative
balance.

Once you come to know the school has their assigned dealers then don’t disclose that we
can give discount up to 25%.
