After children learn to blend no-matra words like घर, कमल and नमक, the next exciting step is reading a whole sentence. Bina matra ke vakya (बिना मात्रा के वाक्य) are short Hindi sentences in which every letter keeps its own built-in अ sound, so there are no matras to think about. A child who can read कमल can also read कमल, जल भर। and that first sentence is a big confidence boost.

Quick answer: No matra sentences in Hindi use only letters with the inherent अ sound:
- Two words: घर चल। (Go home.) · जल भर। (Fill the water.)
- Three words: अमन, घर चल। · सब फल चख।
- Longer: भरत, कलम रख, अब पढ़।
- Start with two-word sentences and move up as reading becomes smooth.
What makes a sentence “bina matra”?
In Hindi, every consonant carries a hidden अ sound: क is said ka, म is said ma. A matra changes that sound (का, कि, की). In a bina matra vakya, no letter has a matra, so the child reads every letter with its natural sound and blends them: क + म + ल = कमल.
For these sentences we also avoided the anusvar dot (ं), the chandrabindu (ँ) and half letters such as त्त, because they are usually taught later. You will see ड़ and ढ़ in a few words (पढ़, सड़क). The small dot below these letters is not a matra; ड़ and ढ़ are separate letters that many varnamala charts include.
Most sentences here are short commands, because commands such as चल, रख, भर and पकड़ need no matra. That is also how many early Hindi readers begin.
Before you start: no-matra words
Children should be comfortable reading two- and three-letter no-matra words before sentences. If they are not there yet, our lists of two letter words in Hindi and three letter words in Hindi are the right first step. Most words in the sentences below come from those lists.

A note on spelling: बरतन (pots and pans) is also often written बर्तन, and many children’s books use the no-matra spelling बरतन, which is why it appears here.
How to read bina matra ke vakya with your child
- Read the words first. Before the sentence, read each word on its own: कमल, जल, भर.
- Point and read. Your child points under each word while reading. Pause at the comma (,) and stop at the पूर्ण विराम (।).
- Read it again, faster. The second time should sound like speaking, not spelling.
- Ask a meaning question. “Who should fill the water? Kamal.” This shows the child understood, not just decoded.
- Act it out. Sentences like घर चल। and रबड़ पकड़। are perfect for acting, especially with younger children.
Five sentences a day is enough. Level 1 takes about two days, Level 2 three days and Level 3 three days, so the whole set fits into two school weeks with time to revise.

Common reading difficulties
- Adding a matra that is not there: some children read कलम as कलाम. Ask them to touch each letter and check: is there a matra? No, so it stays short.
- Dropping the final sound: in Hindi, the last अ of a word is usually not pronounced (कमल is said kamal, not kamala). Model it naturally and children copy it.
- Letter-by-letter reading that never blends: slide the sounds together slowly, like a song: क…म…ल, then faster: कमल.
- Confusing look-alike letters: watch for ब and व, घ and ध, म and भ. Make a small card of tricky pairs.
Read-and-circle activity (with answers)
Read the sentence and circle the word that answers the question.
- अमन, घर चल। Where should Aman go? (घर)
- सब फल चख। What should you taste? (फल)
- मदन, अचकन पहन। What should Madan wear? (अचकन)
- गगन, थरमस भर। What should Gagan fill? (थरमस)
- रजत, कलश पर कमल रख। What goes on the kalash? (कमल)
Turn reading into writing
- Copy writing: choose two sentences a day to copy neatly on Hindi lines with the शिरोरेखा.
- Change one word: घर चल। becomes बस पकड़। Ask your child to make new no-matra sentences by swapping a word.
- Little dictation: read a Level 1 sentence aloud and let your child write it. Check together.
- Sentence building: write words on cards (अमन, घर, चल) and let your child arrange them into a sentence.
Once these sentences feel easy, your child is ready for matras. Our next step guide, Hindi matra sentences, gives five sentences for each matra. For longer reading practice, see Hindi reading worksheets for Class 1.

Frequently asked questions
What are bina matra ke vakya?
Bina matra ke vakya are Hindi sentences in which no letter has a matra, so every letter is read with its natural अ sound. An example is अमन, घर चल। meaning Aman, go home.
When should a child read sentences without matra?
Children are usually ready once they can blend two- and three-letter no-matra words such as घर, जल and कमल. This is often in UKG or early Class 1, but every child moves at their own pace.
Is ड़ a matra?
No. ड़ and ढ़ are letters with a small dot below them. The dot is not a matra, so words like सड़क and पढ़ can appear in no-matra sentences.
How many no-matra sentences should a child read each day?
About five sentences a day is plenty. Read each one twice, ask a meaning question and stop while your child is still enjoying it.
Does the Hindi two and three letter words pack have sentences?
Yes. The 38-page pack ends with 12 short no-matra sentences to read, a read-and-circle page and sentence tracing, after sections on two- and three-letter words.
