The Awesome

Zinglish Program

English learning in India has degenerated into an exercise in memorizing rather than teaching children to communicate and read to understand. Hapless children read insipid lessons, needlessly memorizing and reproducing the exercises at the end of each lesson – thus producing children who can neither speak nor write in English, in spite of learning the language for nearly 14 years! Zinglish is English with a zing and has imparted English fluency to all children irrespective of their family background!

Grammar Slammer

The mechanics of the language – verbs, common nouns, proper nouns, personal pronouns, auxiliary verbs and more – are taught through 300 online e-sheets comprising of a whopping 4500 unique exercises. Children do these without parental help, without tuitions and wholly by understanding.

Grammar Worksheets

Monster Reader

Nearly 400 unique questions, some direct and some that need inference skills, test children’s comprehension in a “open test” format. Audio embedded in the e-books help them with pronunciation.
