Nurturing Communication Confidence and Foundational Language Skills

Language proficiency and communication confidence are distinct; children need supportive classroom environments to express ideas without fear of mistakes.

Data from ASER 2024 shows that the proportion of Class 3 children in government schools able to read a Class 2-level text rose from 16.3% in 2022 to 23.4% in 2024.

Classroom practices such as storytelling, role-play, paired discussions, and open-ended questioning help foster independent thinking and speaking confidence.
