LEARNING TO BE GREAT – BOOK 1 Value Education & Life Skills for Class 1

Learning To Be Great – Book 1 is the first book in the Learning To Be Great (1–5) series, specially designed for Class 1 students. It introduces young learners to the world of values, meaningful habits and essential life skills in a warm, age-appropriate and engaging way. The book is strongly aligned with NEP 2020’s focus on holistic development, combining stories, reflection prompts, activities, drama and teacher-friendly guides to help children grow physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually.

At this level, children begin to develop their sense of self, learn foundational social behaviours, and explore ethical choices in simple everyday contexts. With its story-based approach and guided questions, Book 1 nurtures independent thinking rather than rote memorisation.
