Welcome to KAVI! This guide will help you and your child navigate the app effectively, especially if your child is an absolute beginner with no prior exposure to Kannada. Follow these steps to get the most out of KAVI and make learning Kannada a fun and engaging experience for your Grade 1 child.

Step 1: Starting with Learn Mode

Objective: Introduce the Kannada alphabet and basic vocabulary.

  1. Open KAVI and Select Grade 1:
    • When you first open the app, go to Settings and select Grade 1. This ensures the content is appropriate for your child’s learning level.
  2. Play the First Level in Learn Mode:
    • Tap on the Level Button and select the first level in Grade 1.
    • This level presents words starting with each letter of the Kannada alphabet in order.
  3. Listen and Repeat:
    • Encourage your child to listen to the words carefully. Use the Listen Again button if needed.
    • Have your child repeat each word after hearing it. This helps in getting familiar with pronunciation and sounds.
  4. Focus on the First Letter:
    • Pay special attention to the first letter of each word and how it is written. This builds a foundational understanding of the Kannada alphabet.
  5. Select the Meaning:
    • Your child will be prompted to select the meaning of the word. This can be challenging initially, but it helps in building vocabulary through recognition and elimination.
  6. Repeat Learn Mode:
    • Encourage your child to go through this level multiple times until they can accurately get the meanings of the words. Repetition is key in early language learning.

Step 2: Transition to Game2-Meanings Mode

Objective: Reinforce vocabulary and alphabet recognition through interactive gameplay.

  1. Select Game2-Meanings Mode:
    • After your child is comfortable with the Learn Mode, switch to the same level in Game2-Meanings Mode.
  2. Identify the Correct Kannada Word:
    • In this mode, the child will be shown an English word and must identify the correct Kannada word from four choices.
    • Encourage your child to use their knowledge from Learn Mode to recognize the first letter of the correct word.
  3. Assess Understanding:
    • If your child can get most of the words right, it indicates they have learned to read and identify the Kannada alphabet effectively.
  4. Repeat for Mastery:
    • Let your child repeat this mode until they can consistently get the right answers. Mastery in this mode means they can read and identify the Kannada alphabet confidently.

Step 3: Expanding Vocabulary and Skills

Objective: Build a basic vocabulary and reinforce alphabet knowledge.

  1. Challenge in Other Modes:
    • Once your child has mastered the alphabet, they can challenge themselves by attempting the same level in other interactive modes available in KAVI.
  2. Progress to Next Levels:
    • Move on to the next levels after mastering the alphabet. The subsequent levels introduce more complex words that might not be as simple to read initially.
    • Use Learn Mode to introduce new words. Encourage your child to listen and repeat after each word.
  3. Consistent Practice:
    • Have your child repeat each level until they are fairly accurate before moving on to the next. Consistent practice ensures better retention and understanding.

Step 4: Completing Grade 1

Objective: Achieve a basic vocabulary and comprehensive understanding of the Kannada alphabet.

  1. Mastering Grade 1 Content:
    • By the end of Grade 1, your child should be able to read and identify the Kannada alphabet and know words starting with each letter.
    • They will also have a basic vocabulary that includes categories like Animals, Vegetables, Fruits, Vehicles, Toys, Colors, Professions, Numbers, Question words, Animal homes, Food, and pronouns.
  2. Encourage Further Learning:
    • Encourage your child to continue using KAVI regularly. The app is designed to be interactive and engaging, making learning enjoyable.
