Preface
The ability to understand and communicate effectively in English remains a vital tool for success in today’s globalized world. Research by the World Economic Forum, in their Future of Jobs Report 2023, highlights that strong communication skills are among the top skills required for the workforce of the future. These skills ensure lifelong learning and facilitate successful entry into the professional world. This is in keeping with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2022–23 which focusses on preparing learners for a dynamic future.
Guided by the visionary principles outlined in the NEP 2020 and NCF 2022–23, education in India is undergoing significant transformation. There is a focus on a holistic, flexible, and multidisciplinary education, which aims to nurture 21st century soft skills such as effective communication, creativity, critical thinking and problem solving.
Following the directives of these landmark documents, Ignite is an ELT programme designed especially for 21st century learners. It develops foundational language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—in a systematic and engaging way. In keeping with the NEP 2020’s focus on holistic education, Ignite provides ample opportunities for learners to practise the recommended soft skills. The programme’s task-based approach and frequent opportunities for collaborative learning, encourage learners to express creatively, interact constructively, take responsibility for their own learning, solve problems effectively and apply their knowledge in new situations. With a strong focus on socio-emotional learning (SEL) and the awareness of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Ignite fosters national pride and good citizenship while also exposing learners to global perspectives.
In today’s media-rich environment, the ability to interpret, analyse, and create visual content is essential. Ignite develops learners’ skills to understand and communicate through images, symbols, and visual texts, preparing them to navigate and contribute to the increasingly visual world they live in. In accordance with the NEP 2020’s emphasis on continuous and comprehensive assessment, Ignite supports ongoing learning by empowering learners, parents and teachers with the tools to track and enhance learning.
Ignite offers a balanced approach to listening, speaking, reading and writing that respects the linguistic diversity of learners while providing them with the tools to master the English language. The rubrics in the Teacher Guide emphasize the importance of creativity, the ability to find and express alternative solutions, innovation, teamwork, perseverance and work ethics.
We extend our warmest wishes to all educators, parents, and learners as they embark on the exciting Ignite journey, filled with fun and joyful experiences. Let us work together to prepare our learners not just for the world as it is, but for the world as it could be, where they will thrive as empathetic, innovative, and responsible global citizens.

My New Friend
Dear Diary
It is good to meet you again!
Today is Monday. I made a new friend today. As I entered my class, I noticed someone new! There was a girl with short hair standing near the door. I went up to her and said hello. Her name is Riya. She smiled at me but I could tell she was feeling scared. I gave her a big smile and asked if she wanted to sit with me. Riya’s face lit up, and we quickly became friends.
I introduced Riya to all my other friends, and before we knew it, she was part of our group. We had so much fun playing games like basketball and kho-kho during our breaks. At lunchtime, we all sat together and shared our food like parathas, pickles, and mango lassi. We chatted about our families and favourite things. It is always fun to make new friends. Good night, diary.

Let’s Read

The Wright Brothers
In Dayton, Ohio, there were two brothers named Orville and Wilbur Wright. They loved to experiment with machines and dreamed of flying. They believed people could soar through the sky like birds.
The brothers worked in their bicycle shop by day and built a flying machine by night. They had very little understanding of how objects moved through air. They studied birds and read about their flight. They worked hard, but they didn’t give up because they supported each other.
In December 1903, Orville and Wilbur travelled to Kitty Hawk. They brought along their invention, the Wright Flyer. They were nervous but excited.
On 17 December 1903, Orville lay on the lower wing of the plane and started the engine. With Wilbur’s help, the plane roared to life and lifted off the ground! Orville flew for
12 seconds and covered a distance of 120 feet. They had done it! Their first flight with an engine was successful.
The Wright brothers were successful because they worked as a team. Because of their invention we can fly around the world today.

6 Protecting Animals
Let’s Read
Read the poem and answer the questions.
Protecting Animals
In forests deep and oceans wide, Where animals run and fish do glide, We must be kind, we must take care, Of all the creatures living there.
The lion roars, the elephant strolls, The birds sing songs, the dolphins roll, Each one a treasure, each one a friend, On them, we should always depend.
Protect their homes, the trees, and seas, With gentle hands and hearts to please, Don’t leave trash or make them sad, Treat every animal as a comrade.
The panda chews on bamboo shoots, The squirrel nibbles on its fruits,
The world is theirs as much as ours, Let’s nurture it with all our powers.
So let’s all stand and make a vow, To help the animals here and now, With love and care, we’ll keep them free, Safe and happy as they should be.

Soon Tom had more vegetables than his family needed. Generously, he shared his fresh produce with his neighbours. He helped the village through a tough time, and showed everyone the power of determination and kindness.

A Happy Accident
Once upon a time, in ancient China, there was a wise emperor named Shen Nong. One hot day, while sitting under a tree, some leaves fell into his pot of hot water. He tasted it and found it yummy. Curious, he asked his helpers to plant more of the same tree. People liked this new drink because it tasted good and made them feel better.
They drank it a lot, and it became an important part of their culture. They had special ceremonies for drinking it and called it tea. From China, tea travelled to many places in the world, making friends everywhere it went. And so, tea became a beloved drink enjoyed by people everywhere, all thanks to a happy accident by Emperor Shen Nong.
Tea is now enjoyed in many forms by people all over the world, not just in China. It is a drink that brings people together and makes them feel happy. So, whenever you have

Ravi’s Secret Superpower!
Ravi loved watching cartoons. He could sit all day in front of the TV without moving. One day, his grandmother said, ‘Ravi, if you play outside and eat healthy food, you’ll discover you have a secret superpower!’
‘A superpower?’ Ravi asked. ‘What do I need to do?’
‘Simple!’ Grandma smiled. ‘Play, run, and eat fruit and vegetables.’
The next morning, Ravi decided to give it a try. He went to the park, played cricket, a skipping game, and ran with his friends. While climbing a tree, he found a ripe mango and ate it! Every day, Ravi did something fun—played football, rode his bike, and even learnt new games.
