Practice makes perfect!

Regular Practice
To learn and memorise the names and sounds of the Gurmukhi letters regular practice is necessary. It is important that days in the week are set by the parent or teacher for the student to learn the names and sounds of thee the Gurmukhi letters. It is important that the student hears the correct sound of each of the letters. The sounds can be learnt from a parent, teacher, peer or the Sikh Student Learning Interactive PowerPoint Slideshow – see Resources > Premium Downloads on this website.

It is advised that the names and sounds of all forty letters are not taught or learnt at one time – one to five letters at a time is advised.
