Vocabulary building is one of the components of language learning. Kanagram is a software application in which you can create word lists for defined categories, which will presented in a jumbled form for the player to arrange into the desired words. You can build word lists in any language, though currently in Indian languages, you can use only simple letters and not letter combinations (ottaksharas).

You can also record recitation of poems and stories and create audio resources which can be played to the class. The audio clip can be paused whenever required to allow for comments/discussions and resumed. Any part of the clip can be played again and as many times as required.

In year 1 you learn to create simple videos using the RecordMyDesktop software application, combining the computer screen image with an audio from the computer or from an external source (which could be your own voice). Creating picture stories, audio books and small video documents can support language learning. The video documents can include dubbing in the local language and sub titling to strengthen reading / listening skills.

Create word lists for different word categories such as 'districts of Karnataka', 'hills of India' or 'rivers of Europe'. For each category provide member words. You can also create word categories for the different 'word groups' in your subject - such as 'elements' or 'compounds' in science, or 'types of numbers' or 'freedom fighters of India'. The 'quiz' format, with 'help' can make it enjoyable learning experience.
