Dear All and Dear Sai,
Even I face same problem while teaching class 6 Science in Karnataka.
I try to spend sometime in helping them to read what is written there with the help of other students and read small sentences. But it is very hard and time consuming process.
I do not know what is the best way forward. I try to push them to try reading common words like vignana, neeru (water), gali (air) etc.
At the end of the day it is a grass root problem. We can only try the best possible scenario through Skype.
Best regards,
Rudrakant
