EMPOWERING ENGLISH – The book abounds in interesting stories with excellent vocabulary. Kids love them. It helps them broaden their perspective and give wings to their imagination. The stories also help them in developing basic desirable qualities like sympathy, empathy, and cooperation. It builds up sound vocabulary, promotes critical thinking and creativity through activities. The class is engaged, interactive, and gets opportunities to integrate other subjects.
LANGUAGE WITH EASE – Generally, grammar is supposed to be the most boring subject, as it involves rules and concepts, but this book has made the learning of grammar very interesting. <
My kids look forward to having grammar classes as they are very interactive and children find it rewarding if all their answers are correct. Even the slowest learner can grasp the toughest concept, as it does not involve mugging up the rule, instead, it progressively teaches using daily exercises, done briefly. Concept acquisition of flawless grammar comes to kids naturally with this system. They will remember it throughout their lives.
As an English Language teacher, I would strongly recommend this book to help the kids become grammatically sound.
English Teacher, Jasudben ML School, Khar,
I am teaching in Shri Ram Swaroop memorial public school, Lucknow. This session onwards,have started using your book ‘Empowering English ‘from classes 1-8.
My experience makes me to share this with you that students in general findreading English literature and language books a mundane task that is forced upon them in order to clear exams and pass from 1 class to another. I know as English teachers,we have moments of disillusionment when we realise that not everyone is a book nerd and that our students do not actually feel the same passion for Sarojini Naidu,Robert frost,William Shakespeare that we do. But your book ‘Empowering English ‘ has changed this thinking of mine. This book ‘Empowering English ‘ is quite different, interesting and influential from others.
While teaching during the class,I’ve noticed my students feeling…those paragraphs in the chapters make them laugh out loud,shed a tear,feel anxious or scared or sad for someone ‘s plight, worried and rejoice. This shows and proves that they are not only involving themselves but also understanding the things that are being taught. In case of language, after the lectures are delivered and activities are discussed and completed,a positive change is seen in their language both in terms of conversation and writing.
So, would say that your book is solving our purpose and proves to be powerful. It’s an effective tool that is helping us to cater to the needs of our students and making them better by each passing day. It is making our job easy.

I enjoyed the learning. I wish some teacher had taught me all this when I was in school. Not an English honours person, I am learning about some of these details now. Very well organised and carefully curated information and concepts brought to us in the lucid manner that is quintessentially Mrs Pandit. Thank you for the clarity
