When printed double sided, these flashcards of dolch sight words have English on one side, and the Punjabi translation on the back. It is helpful if you are trying to give meaning to sight words to students who are learning to read English while simultaneously beginning to learn English.

Punjabi-English alphabet letter cards for EAL pupils. Print double-sided for each English letter on the front and the closest matching Punjabi (Gurmukhi) sound on the back. Ideal for new-to-English Punjabi pupils. These cards support pupils who are new to English and just beginning to read, by giving them a phonetic reference in their home language. What’s included (9 pages) A–Z English letter cards backed with the matching Gurmukhi letters Bonus digraph cards (pages 7–8): Ch, Sh, Th /θ/, Th /ð/, Ph, Wh, Ng and Ck A Basic Guide to Punjabi Sounds infographic for your classroom wall. Displaying it (or enlarging it to poster size) values pupils’ home language and gets the whole class curious about a new script. Printing: the alphabets look reversed on screen so that they line up front-to-back when printed double-sided. If yours don’t, set your printer to “flip on long edge”. Letters without an exact match D uses ਡ and T uses ਟ, the letters Punjabi uses for English d and t, as in ਡਾਕਟਰ (doctor). F uses ਫ਼ and Z uses ਜ਼, the dotted letters made for f and z in borrowed words. C and K both use ਕ. Q uses ਖ (kh). Punjabi does not separate v and w, so V and W both use ਵ. X uses ਕਸ (k + s), as in ਬਾਕਸ (box). Digraph cards The two Th cards are marked in the upper right corner with their IPA spelling: /θ/ as in think and /ð/ as in this. Punjabi has no “th” sounds, so Th /θ/ uses ਥ and Th /ð/ uses ਦ. Ng uses ਙ, a Gurmukhi letter rarely used alone (the ng sound is usually written with the dot ਂ above the letter before it). Ph, Wh and Ck use the same letters as F, W and K. Note: these cards use the Gurmukhi script used in India and by most UK Sikh families. Punjabi speakers from Pakistan usually read Shahmukhi (Perso-Arabic script); my Urdu alphabet cards may suit them better. What to expect from Punjabi speakers Tones: Punjabi uses tone to change meaning, so pupils may use pitch in unexpected places in English. Breathy sounds: Punjabi separates consonants by a puff of air (p vs ph) more than by voicing, so “pat” and “bat” may be confused. Missing English sounds: expect “d” or “t” for “th”, one sound for “v” and “w” (“vine/wine”), “j” for “z” (“joo”) and a rolled “r”. T and D: made with the tongue curled back, which gives English t and d a heavier sound. Verb at the end: expect “I an apple eat”. No articles: expect “I have dog”. Words after the noun: Punjabi says “the table on”, so English prepositions need practice. He and she: ਉਹ means both “he” and “she”, so pupils often mix them up. Consonant clusters: expect “isschool” or “sakool” for “school”. No capital letters: Gurmukhi has none, so capitals need direct teaching. Also in my shop: alphabet letter cards for Urdu, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Pashto and more.

I work for the Leeds Youth Justice Service and I have created a series of fact sheets called ‘Conversation Starters’ to help other staff in the service with key information about religions, countries, cultures and languages. They are designed to be quick guides and allow staff to read up on various topics prior to meeting with / working with families and young people. The aim is to help with any misconceptions and to also know of any special etiquette, etc. that should be adhered to. Plus to help with topics of conversation! The countries series are also aimed to help staff understand reasons why families may choose to move over to England from their home countries. The current LANGUAGES sheets are: Arabic Persian Punjabi (this sheet) Swahili Urdu Though I will keep creating these as and when they are requested, so this list may not include all of them and it would be best to check my TES page as well! Please note - I have added the PDF and PowerPoint files. The documents contain some references to Leeds links which can easily be modified or removed. The Leeds YJS logo is also on the document so this can be replaced / removed. As well as selling each individually I will sell them all as a bundle at a discounted rate, once I have chance to upload them all!

Lots of my users have asked if I can suggest ways they can use these language flashcards effectively in the classroom, and so I have added an additional 31 page teaching guide on using them. I hope you like them. ***** Please note - these resources provide visual prompts and support to the students, not direct language instruction ************** Welcome to the 'Let’s Write in Punjabi!' pack. There are lots of ways of using this teaching pack. It could be used as writing assessment for students learning Punjabi. The students could write about a topic in Punjabi before starting a unit, and then write again about the topic, using the second worksheet at the end of the topic to see how much they have progressed. It could also be used as an introduction to guided writing. Students can write sentences as a class and share the sentences together and they can then write them on their own. Alternatively, students could work in pairs - one student dictates to the other what to write down about what they see in the picture. These pages could also be used to write different stories, using the pictures as a stimulus.
