COPY CORRECTION AND COPY CHECKING MANUAL FOR NEP 2020

Class/Grade 1 to 3 in Focus on FLN

Introduction

This manual provides guidelines for copy correction and checking in the context of the NEP 2020 focus on
Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) for Classes 1 to 3.

The NEP emphasizes a developmentally appropriate approach, prioritizing the foundation skills for future
learning success.

Principles

 Focus on Clarity and Age-Appropriateness:

o Ensure the language is clear, concise, and understandable for students in Classes 1-3.
o Avoid complex sentence structures and advanced vocabulary.
 Alignment with FLN Goals:
o Ensure content and activities align with FLN goals, such as letter and sound recognition, basic
reading comprehension, number recognition, and simple calculations.
 Error Correction:
o Correct errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation, but prioritize clarity and meaning over
technical perfection.
 Positive Reinforcement:
o Focus on providing positive feedback and highlighting strengths rather than solely dwelling on
errors.

Subject-Specific Considerations

 English
1. Focus on Phonics: Ensure proper use of phonics-based instruction and activities related to letter-sound
relationships.
2. Reading Comprehension: Activities should focus on basic comprehension skills like identifying main
ideas, recognizing details, and understanding sequencing.
3. Vocabulary Development: Introduce new vocabulary words gradually, ensuring they are relevant to
the topic and age-appropriate.
4. Grammar and Punctuation: Focus on basic sentence structure (subject-verb agreement) and simple
punctuation marks like periods and question marks.
