1) Hook: A Fun Story

Once upon a time in a colourful Indian village, little Chotu found a magic box. Inside, he saw tiny friends called small letters! They looked like little ants but could make words like apple 🍎, ball ⚽, and cat 🐱. Chotu wanted to learn their names and sounds to read stories and write letters to his friends.
