ಎ ಖ ಐ ಥ ಪ ದ ಠ ಬ ಒ ಡ	ಕೊಡ ಮಳೆ ಭರ ದಾರಿ ಭಯ ಚಾಟಿ ನಾರು ಛಡಿ ದೇವ ದೂರು

ಗುಲಾಬಿ ಹೂವು ಅಂದರೆ ಬಹಳ ಚೆಂದ.ಇದು ನೋಡಲು ಬಹಳ ಅಂದ.ಕಮಲಿಯ ಮನೆಯ ಅಂಗಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಗುಲಾಬಿ ಹೂವುಗಳ ಅಂದವಾದ ತೋಟವಿದೆ.

ಒಂದು ಕಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನರಿಯು ವಾಸವಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಅದು ಕೊಕ್ಕರೆಯ ಜೊತೆ ಗೆಳೆತನ ಬೆಳೆಸಿತು. ಒಂದು ದಿನ ನರಿಯು,

ಕೊಕ್ಕರೆಯನ್ನು ಊಟಕ್ಕೆ ಕರೆದು ಒಂದು ಎಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾಯಸ ಹಾಕಿ ನೀಡಿತು. ಕೊಕ್ಕರೆಗೆ ಕೊಕ್ಕಿನಿಂದ ಪಾಯಸ ತಿನ್ನಲಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ.

ಅದು ಬೇಸರಗೊಂಡಿತು. ಆಗ ಕೊಕ್ಕರೆ ನರಿಗೆ ಪಾಠ ಕಲಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದು ಯೋಚಿಸಿತು. ಮುಂದಿನ ದಿನ ನರಿಯನ್ನು ಊಟಕ್ಕೆ ಕರೆಯಿತು.

ನರಿಯು ಕೊಕ್ಕರೆಯ ಮನೆಗೆ ಬಂದಿತು. ಕೊಕ್ಕರೆ ಹೂಜಿಯ ಒಳಗೆ ಪಾಯಸ ಹಾಕಿ, ನರಿಗೆ ನೀಡಿತು.

ನರಿಗೆ ಪಾಯಸ ತಿನ್ನಲಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಆಗ ತನ್ನ ತಪ್ಪಿನ ಅರಿವಾಗಿ ನರಿಯು ಗೆಳೆಯನ ಹತ್ತಿರ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳಿತು.

process:

We used ASER tools for the reading activity to focus on determining whether a student can read alphabets, words, paragraphs, and stories by interacting with each child individually, In order to evaluate the reading skills in Kannada and English the child was initially made to read the words; if they could read it, we advised them to move to the paragraph; even in this, if they felt confident reading, we allowed them to read stories. We would ask the child to identify the letters if they were having trouble in reading words.

We used the common evaluation criteria, which are listed below, for children of all skill levels.

Rubric:

Student names	able to recognize less than five letters	Able to recognize 5-10 letters	able to read less than 5 words.	able to read 5-8 words	struggling to read the simple sentences	able to read all the simple sentences	able to read the full story with 4/5 mistakes or is able to read very slowly	able to read the full story fluently without any hesitation and mistakes	Comments
