1. Learning to Read Hindi Unit 2 Honors Explorations

2. Introduction In this unit, we were meant to learn a new skill. I chose to learn read Hindi. I wanted to learn it because it is my native language, and I can speak it fluently. However, my reading is not good, and I only know the basics. I want to learn my native language because it can benefit me when I go to India and it will bring me closer to my culture too.

3. Demonstration Text 1

4. My first step in this unit was to choose a complex text which I would read at the start of the unit and the end. The purpose of this is to show how much I’ve improved over the course of this month. On January 26, I read as much of the text as I could in 1 minute 30 seconds and skipped over the words that I wasn’t able to read. I will not read that specific text again to avoid memorizing the words and making it too easy for me later on.

6. Alphabets Turn to page 1 After recording, I realized that I had forgotten some of the letters in the alphabet so I listened to some videos teaching them and praticed pronouncing the letters.

7. Research Learning plan Planning I created a timeline using the information I gained from my research. I implemented the steps that I thought were most beneficial and relevant to my learning and created deadlines per week. This helped me be more successful as I did not waste time and learned properly. In this week, I decided I wanted a clear learning plan to follow throughout this project. This would lead less confusion and less procrastination. To to this, I first researched the best ways to learn to read a new language. Turn to Pages

15. Basic Words and Phrases This week, I started out by writing all the common words I saw in all the text I read. I also researched some phrases that were most common. This research helped me memorize all the small words and be able to recognize them on sight. For example, in English words like what and where are common words that people usually can recognize on sight. Turn to Page

16. Short story 1 (try 2) I reread the same short story as week 2 and there have been many improvements since then. ● I read the text in only 2 minutes ● My parents both gave me a higher rating ● I read more words correctly I believe the increase in reading speed is due to my lesson on basic words and phrases because I did not need to waste time sounding out each and every word which decreased the amount of time it took to read the text. Also, since I had already read the story, I was able to read more words correctly. Moreover, I answered comprehension questions on this text which were all correct.

17. Informative Text Next, I read an informative text which was harder in difficultly because of long words and many matras. This caused me to struggled but I was still able to read almost every word correctly which is my best time yet. My parents rated the text’s difficulty a 6/10 and gave my reading a 6.5/10. I also answered comprehension on the text and got all of the questions correct. Turn to Page
