Ideal for use in primary schools, Urdu-medium institutions, madrasas, Anganwadis, Bal Bharti schools, and homeschooling environments, the PSULK includes a wide range of thoughtfully curated materials such as Urdu alphabet flashcards, picture-word association charts, storytelling puppets, tracing slates, phonetic posters, vocabulary building games, sentence-making kits, rhyming word puzzles, and colorful workbooks. Each component is designed to make Urdu learning joyful, interactive, and culturally relevant, while also enhancing a child’s fine motor skills, cognitive development, and creative thinking.
