How to Prepare English for Class 7 (NCERT – Poorvi)

English in Class 7 becomes slightly more advanced than Class 6. The Poorvi English textbook includes prose, poems, and activities designed to develop reading comprehension, grammar, writing, speaking, and listening. At this stage, students are expected not only to read and understand but also to express their own ideas clearly in English.

1. Reading and Understanding Texts

  • Read every lesson (stories, poems, plays) line by line.

  • Mark and note down difficult words with meanings, synonyms, antonyms.

  • After reading, try to summarise the lesson in your own words.

  • In poems, focus on theme, rhyme, and poetic devices (like simile, metaphor, personification).

  • In plays or dialogues, practice reading aloud with expression to improve speaking skills.

Tip: Read the lesson aloud once and silently once—it improves both pronunciation and comprehension.

2. Writing Skills

In Class 7 Poorvi, writing tasks become more structured.

  • Paragraphs & Essays → Choose one main idea, give supporting points, end with a conclusion.

  • Letter Writing → Practice formal letters (to principal, officials) and informal letters (to friends, family).

  • Notice Writing → Keep it precise (Heading → Date → Body → Signature).

  • Story Writing → Build around a beginning line or picture clue, and end with a moral.

  • Diary Entries → Write in first person, short and reflective.

Tip: Practice one writing task daily—it improves speed and exam readiness.

3. Grammar and Vocabulary

The grammar in Class 7 builds upon Class 6. Focus on:

  • Parts of speech (detailed)

  • Tenses (all forms: simple, continuous, perfect)

  • Voice (active & passive – basic forms)

  • Reported speech (direct → indirect, basic types)

  • Degrees of adjectives and adverbs

  • Clauses and sentence types

Vocabulary building:

  • Maintain a word diary.

  • Practice prefixes and suffixes (happy → unhappy, hope → hopeful).

  • Learn idiomatic expressions used in lessons.

Tip: Write 3–4 new sentences daily using fresh words from your lesson.

4. Listening and Speaking Skills

  • Listen to short English stories, rhymes, or news clips.

  • Pair activities in the book → do them seriously, as they train you in real conversations.

  • Practice short speeches on topics like Environment, Festivals, My Role Model.

  • Read dialogues with expression (drama sections in Poorvi are great for practice).

Tip: Record your reading, listen back, and correct your pronunciation.

5. Preparing for Exams

  1. Read all lessons carefully and learn main ideas.

  2. Solve all textbook exercises—short and long answer questions.

  3. Memorise poem stanzas for explanation questions.

  4. Prepare short summaries of each prose, poem, and play for quick revision.

  5. Practice grammar exercises regularly (tenses, voice, reported speech).

  6. Write sample answers in exam format within time limits.

6. General Tips

  • Read English storybooks outside the textbook (short novels, folktales, fables).

  • Watch English cartoons or kids’ shows with subtitles for listening practice.

  • Revise regularly instead of cramming.

  • Discuss lessons with friends in English—it builds confidence.

  • Use a word bank notebook for vocabulary, idioms, and phrases.

Preparing English for Class 7 (Poorvi) requires regular practice and balanced focus on all skills—reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, listening, and speaking. By carefully reading lessons, practicing writing tasks daily, revising grammar, and actively using English in conversation, students can score well in exams and develop lifelong confidence in the language.
