Once a child can read matra words like आम, किताब and फूल, the next step is reading whole sentences. Hindi matra sentences (मात्रा वाले वाक्य) that mostly use one matra are the perfect bridge: the child practises a single sound again and again, but now inside a real sentence with meaning, a full stop and a little story.

Quick answer: Good matra wale vakya for beginners:
- Use one matra in most words, with the rest being no-matra words (घर, चल, कर).
- Keep them two to five words long, ending with a पूर्ण विराम (।).
- Examples: राजा आया। (ा) · दीदी, गीत सीख। (ी) · मोर, शोर मत कर। (ो)
- Read one matra set per day, aloud, pointing to each word.
Before you start
These sentences work best when your child already reads no-matra words and knows the matra being practised. If they are not yet reading no-matra sentences, start with bina matra ke vakya, then come back here. For matra words, our Hindi matra worksheets guide covers each matra with word lists.
Many of these sentences are short commands (चल, लिख, कर), just as in early Hindi readers, because commands let us build real sentences without adding extra matras. In a few sentences, one other matra sneaks in, and that is noted as fine: real Hindi rarely stays inside one matra for long.

How to read Hindi matra sentences aloud
- Find the matra first. Ask your child to put a finger on every letter with the day’s matra before reading.
- Read word by word. Point under each word. Pause at the comma, stop at the ।.
- Read it again, smoothly. The second reading should sound like talking, not spelling.
- Talk about the meaning. “Who came? The king.” Meaning turns decoding into reading.
- Act one out. Children love doing कूद, झूल, घूम.
Five sentences a day is plenty: one matra per day gives you a two-week plan with weekends off. For more connected reading, see our Hindi reading worksheets for Class 1. Once reading is fluent, these sentences also make good imla practice; our Hindi dictation for Class 2 post shows how to run it.
Common matra mix-ups
- ि and ी: ि is written before the letter but said after it. Say “short i” for ि (दिन) and “long ee” for ी (दीदी).
- ु and ू: both hang below the letter. ु is short (सुन), ू is long (भूल). Stretch the long one when reading.
- े and ै: one stroke on top for े (देख), two for ै (बैठ).
- ो and ौ: ो has one stroke on top of the ा line (मोर), ौ has two (दौड़).
Mini read-and-circle (with answers)
Read each sentence and circle the word with the matra shown.
- (ी) नीम पर चील।
- (ो) डोर खोल।
- (ू) भूल मत।
- (ं) रंग भर।

Frequently asked questions
What are matra wale vakya?
Matra wale vakya are Hindi sentences that use words with matras, such as राजा आया। Beginners practise sentences where most words use the same matra, so they can focus on one sound at a time.
How many matras should a child learn before reading sentences?
A child can start reading sentences as soon as they know one matra well and can read no-matra words. Practise sentences for each matra as it is learned.
Why is the ि matra written before the letter?
In Devanagari, the short i matra is written to the left of the letter, but it is pronounced after the letter. So in दिन, we write ि before द but say di.
Is the anusvar a matra?
The anusvar is a dot above the letter that adds a nasal sound, as in रंग. Many schools teach it alongside the matras, which is why it appears in matra lists for children.
Does the Hindi matra pack include sentence reading?
Yes. The 44-page Hindi Matra Worksheets PDF ends with read-aloud sentences and read-and-circle sentence pages, after a section for each of the ten matras.
