Why Mumbai Educators Take Level 2
Many Mumbai families speak Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Konkani, Tamil, Telugu or another language at home, and English is often met mainly at school. A child can recite the alphabet and recognise familiar words, yet be unable to read a new word like shop or grin, because they learnt letter names and memorised words rather than how to blend sounds. Level 2 shows you how to close those gaps with older children.
