The Bengali Reading Course · Live · 6 weeks

She can talk to her grandmother.
She just can’t read what she writes.

Your child already speaks Bangla. In six weeks, a real teacher takes them from their first letter to reading a passage aloud — the language of Tagore, back in their own hands. A small class of ten, ending in a graduation with a certificate.

Why it matters

So the language of Tagore doesn’t skip a generation.

Your child chats happily in Bangla — but hand them a rhyme, a Puja pushpanjali card, or a note from their grandmother, and the letters are a wall. English-medium school will never teach this. In six weeks we take them from “I can’t read this” to reading a short passage aloud — and into a literary inheritance that is theirs by birth.

How the class works

Live teaching, gentle practice, a real finish line.

Two live classes a week

One to learn new letters, one to read them aloud to the teacher. 35 minutes each, six weeks, in a tiny group so your child is seen and heard.

A little practice each day

Short daily activities on WhatsApp between classes — a voice note reading the day’s letter, a tracing sheet. Five minutes, not homework battles.

We track what trips them up

The teacher notes the exact letters your child mixes up and brings them back until they’re read cleanly. A real person watching your child.

They graduate

On the last day each child reads a passage aloud and earns a named certificate — proof to show grandparents, not points in an app.

“Why pay when there are free apps?”

Because an app can’t hear your child read.

Tracing apps are fine for practising a letter. But no app notices your child keeps swapping two look-alike letters, or claps when they read their first full sentence. That’s what a live teacher does.

Questions parents ask

Good things to know.

My child speaks Bangla but can’t read a single letter. Is that okay?

That’s exactly who this is for. We start from the very first letter and assume no reading at all. Speaking Bangla is all your child needs to begin.

How much time does it take each week?

One 35-minute live class, plus about five minutes of gentle daily practice in the WhatsApp group. Built to fit a busy family.

What do you need at home?

A phone, tablet, or computer with Zoom for the class, and WhatsApp for daily practice. We also send printable sheets you can use with just paper and a pencil.

How big is the batch?

Ten children or fewer, on purpose. A small group is the whole point — it’s how the teacher hears and helps every child each week.

What happens at the end?

Each child reads a short passage aloud in a small graduation and earns a named certificate you can print and share with family.

Read your mother tongue.

Give your child the quiet pride of reading Bangla — and give their grandparents a moment they’ll never forget.
