About the Book:

The Laxmi Learning Planet English Reader series (Classes 1-5) is part of the Laxmi English Learning Programme (ELP), a comprehensive set of curriculum books that align with the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) of NCERT. Designed for CBSE-affiliated schools, this series aims to make learning English engaging, interactive, and relevant to students’ everyday lives.

The English Reader series adopts a communicative approach to teaching, introducing children to a wide variety of literary genres from world literature, Indian literature, and classics. It is student-centric, with characters from the Learning Planet series guiding students through each chapter, making learning fun and relatable. The stories in this reader cover a wide range of themes and experiences, followed by questions that stimulate classroom discussions and activities.

With a focus on developing the four key communication skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—the series enhances students’ understanding of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation through real-life application.

The Learning Planet series precedes the Learning Universe series for classes 6-8 and is supported by a comprehensive set of materials including a coursebook, workbook, teacher manual, grammar book, and companion CD for each grade.
