Hello World Kids, Book 1 is the computer studies book for Class 1 in the Army Public Schools & Colleges System. The cover has a cheerful green and red computer monster using a computer, the line ‘Computers are Fun!’ and the slogan ‘A world of possibilities’. It is the first book of an eight-book series that runs from Class 1 to Class 8 in Army Public Schools, so a child who starts here will meet the same friendly characters again every year. Available to order now for the 2027-28 session.
For a six-year-old, a computer is something to touch, not just to look at. This book starts with the very basics (what a computer is and how to treat it), then moves to games, drawing and play, so that mouse and keyboard skills grow naturally.
Table of contents: Units 1 to 4
The contents page of Book 1 lists four units with their starting pages. The page also shows a short welcome note to children, which says the book invites them into a world of possibilities and encourages them to think, create and innovate.
Unit One: Hello Computers (starts on page 6)
- Unit One: Hello Computers (p. 6)
Why it helps: The first unit is where the child learns what a computer is, meets its parts, and learns how to treat it carefully. A child who is introduced gently here will not be afraid of the machine later.
Unit Two: Let us Have Fun (starts on page 27)
- Unit Two: Let us Have Fun (p. 27)
Why it helps: Fun comes second, because for a young child enjoyment is how skills are learned. This unit uses play to practise the mouse and keyboard.
Unit Three: Hello Drawing (starts on page 51)
- Unit Three: Hello Drawing (p. 51)
Why it helps: Drawing on a computer teaches mouse control and also gives children an immediate, visible result they can show to their family.
Unit Four: Let us Play (starts on page 73)
- Unit Four: Let us Play (p. 73)
Why it helps: The last unit rewards the year’s work with play, and it is the one children usually ask to repeat at home.
Why a computer book in Class 1?
The Single National Curriculum includes computer studies from the earliest classes, and Army Public Schools use a dedicated book so the subject is taught step by step instead of left to the teacher’s improvisation. A printed book also gives parents something to look at: if the school lab has computers and the child does not, the book still shows what has been taught.
Computer skills without a computer: ideas for home
Many six-year-olds learn their first computer skills in a weekly lab period and then have no machine at home. The book’s four unit titles (Hello Computers, Let us Have Fun, Hello Drawing and Let us Play) suggest simple ‘unplugged’ ways to practise:
- Name the parts: point to a laptop, phone or television and ask your child to say what is the screen, what is the keyboard, what is the mouse.
- Draw it: ask your child to draw a computer and label what they remember; Unit Three is about drawing, so any pencil or crayon drawing counts as practice.
- Mouse practice with a toy: move a small toy across a table following simple instructions (left, right, up, down, stop).
- Care for the machine: clean hands, gentle clicks and switching off properly are habits worth teaching early.
- Show and tell: ask what they did in the lab this week, and ask them to show you one thing in the book.
Why start with a book?
The first weeks of Class 1 are busy, and a child who sees the same characters and colours in the computer book as in the lab will settle quickly. The book also gives the teacher a lesson plan, so every child covers the same ground.
Who, when and where
Whom: Class 1 students. When: in the weekly computer period. Where: in the school computer lab, with the book open beside the keyboard; at home the book is a talking point. The book is in colour, so the same book is used by the whole class.
