Every unit opens with a "Reflect and Respond" section and includes reading, vocabulary, grammar, writing, listening and speaking tasks. Many units also add extra stories, poems or articles for self-reading. Strong reading and writing habits built now help in Class 10 boards and, later, in long-form answers for any exam. eSaral's teachers often remind students that clear language is what separates an average answer from a top-scoring one.
