Questions people ask

Which book does it follow?
Mridang, NCERT’s new English book for Class 2, all thirteen lessons in the order of the book.

Every lesson’s notes and practice activities are ready now. The read-along videos are being added lesson by lesson, and you get each one as soon as it’s added, at no extra cost.
Is it live classes or recorded?
Recorded lessons with practice, so your child can learn at any time and repeat a lesson as often as needed.
What does my child need?
