Introduction
This is the Grade 7 ChiShona course (Ages 12–13). It is written so a child can learn with a teacher, a parent, or a careful older sibling. Every lesson tells you what will happen, why it matters, how to try it, and how to know you understood. The PlusOne / HBC teacher’s guide PDF sits beside the lessons so you can open the original pages when you want the full book.
What you will learn
You will grow in ChiShona through these units: Zvazoitika!; Zvinhu zvinoshanduka - Mabasa; Mitambo yepasichigare: Bira; Dzidzo inhaka yehupenyu; Ndine kodzero yekudzidza; Tese tiri vanhu; Kutandara pasichigare: Ngano yaTsuro naGudo; Chiroto; Rusununguko muZimbabwe; Bvunzo yekutanga and 10 more units. By the end you should be able to talk about each idea, try a task, and connect it to home and Zimbabwe.
How we learn
Each unit has four lessons: Discover, Learn, Practise, and Show. Read the PDF when you want extra examples. Do the ‘Your turn’ work in a book. Mistakes are part of the path — we correct them kindly and try again.
What you need
A pencil, an exercise book, and a quiet place to sit. Pictures of home, family or animals. A small chart of letters if you have one.
