The document outlines objectives, skills, and implementation approaches for Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) and Environmental Studies (EVS) programs. The FLN mission is to ensure all children attain foundational literacy and numeracy by Grade 3. EVS aims to develop environmental awareness and creativity relating to nature. Key EVS skills include communication, teamwork, problem solving, observation, critical thinking, and statistics. FLN and EVS are integrated through reading, writing, speaking, and math lessons applying basic operations to environmental problems. Pedagogy for both includes play, experiences, mathematical thinking, and comprehension-based literacy. Suggested activities are role-playing, nature walks, shows, charts, and

1. Objective

4. Integration of literacy and numeracy in EVS
• Students of Foundational literacy are able to reading comprehension
lessons of EVS .
• Learns to listen and speak with comprehensions .
• Learns to write for various purposes .
• Students of foundational literacy are competent in counting.
• They understands about numbers.
• Develops mathematical thinking and mathematical vocabulary
• Learns the application of basic operations on number for problem
solving
• Helps in developing of number sense and special understanding like

5. Curricular expectation
Fln
• Pedagogy should include
playway and experiential
activities
• Mathematical thinking such as
numeracy numbers in special
understanding
• Reading with comprehension
writing with understanding and
speaking with coherent thought
EVS
• Acquire awareness about
immediate wider surroundings
through lived experiences on
various themes related to daily
life for example family plants
animals food water travel and
shelter etc

6. Implementation (Activities )
• Subject Enrichment Activities
• Role play. * Music Lesson
• Jam – just a minute. * Market trips
• Poem Recitation. * Nature walk
• Public speaking. * Dance
• Story Telling. * Cooking (without fire)
• Show and Tell.
• Chart Preparation.
• Model making.

7. Implementation - ELPS Approach
• E – Experience with physical objects,
L – spoken Language that describes the experience,
P – pictures that represent the experience,
S – written symbols that generalise the experience.
