 Preface
The aim of developing and revising the school curricula and textbooks is
to make education purposeful, relevant and functional. Education should
impart the desired knowledge and skills to the students. Apart from this, it
should instil in the student’s values and moral standards such as nationalistic
feelings, discipline, self-reliance and basic functional skills of language, maths,
science, information and health. Along with these, students are expected to
appreciate arts, tolerance among different languages, religions and cultures.
In relation to this, there has been an increasing demand for English to start
at the beginning of primary education. To meet this demand, the government
decided to introduce English as a subject from Grade One, starting in the aca-
demic year 2003.
The present English textbook for Grade Three contains the materials that
give children enjoyable activities for learning English. Language skills are
introduced systematically throughout this book, focusing particularly on
listening and speaking skills for this grade. It is believed that the lessons
and exercises given in the book will give children enough opportunities for
practising different language skills. It is equally true that the book in itself is not
adequate to achieve its set goals unless there is an active teaching and
learning environment. Hence, it is expected that the teachers will follow the
instructions given in this book. This book, originally written by Pramod Kumar Shah,
Krishna Raj Hamal and Dev Narayan Mukhiya has been edited by the Curriculum
Development Centre. Art editing and layout concept of this book was done
by Shreehari Shrestha by making it four colour. The Curriculum Development
Centre would like to thank the members of English Subject Committee and
other subject experts for their help in developing this book.
Generally a textbook is an important tool for teaching and learning. It is
expected that experienced teachers and enthusiastic students can achieve
the learning outcomes of the curriculum by using this book along with various
other resource materials. In practice, a textbook is used and considered as
the main resource material. Therefore, attempts have been made to bring
this book up to the standard. Teachers, parents, students and all concerned
stakeholders are requested to send their constructive suggestions to improve
this book in the future editions.
