Dealing with Children Who do not Excel at Urdu

The children of Pakistan must be good at speaking reading and writing Urdu. This is required for several good reasons. The very first of all reasons is that the Urdu is the national language of Pakistan. Every Pakistani should be fluent tin speaking the national language. The national language is the source of integration in Pakistan. If the children do not know it then, the Pakistani nationalism will start to disintegrate gradually in the years to come.

The Urdu language is a compulsory subject from the 1^st grade in every school of the Pakistani. If a person has a Pakistani passport, he or she must learn Urdu. It is a surprising truth that despite that Urdu has to be learned from the first grade, the students are not very good at it.

There could be several reasons of the fact that the children are not performing well at the school in Urdu. The very first reason is that the mother tongue of a child might not be Urdu. If Urdu is not spoken at home, then it is very hard for the child to do well at it in the school. So speak to the child in Urdu at the home too.

Other than that, try to develop the child’s interest in Urdu stories, comics, cartoons, and movies. They can help a lot. The child can pick several phrases for everyday use from the cartoons and the movies. The reading can help improve the child’s expression and the writing skills.
