FLN English Question Bank

FLN stands for Foundational Literacy and Numeracy.

In the context of education, especially in India, FLN refers to the ability of a child to:

  • Literacy: Read with meaning and write effectively. This includes skills like phonics, decoding sounds, reading fluency, reading comprehension, drawing, and writing.
  • Numeracy: Perform basic calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and apply numerical concepts in daily life. This also involves number sense and spatial understanding.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in India emphasizes FLN as a top priority, aiming for all children to achieve these foundational skills by the end of Grade 3 (or not later than Grade 5) by the year 2026-27. It's considered crucial because these basic skills form the bedrock for all future learning and overall development.
