Hindi Dictation Worksheets for Class 1 PDF – 20 Imla Tests with Answers (26 Pages)

Hindi Dictation for Class 1 Worksheets with Answers (इमला / श्रुतलेख)

Tiny Brain Snacks: Hindi Dictation for Class 1 gives you 20 ready-to-use imla tests, so you can run a calm 5–10 minute Hindi dictation at home or in class without hunting for word lists. The tests go step by step, from short words with no matra to every matra, then mixed reviews and short sentences. Each test has a student answer-line sheet on Hindi writing guides and a parent read-aloud list that doubles as the answer key. All artwork is black line art that prints well in black and white.

What’s inside (26 A4 pages)

• Cover and a parent page: how to read an imla aloud, how to mark it, common mix-ups (ि/ी, ु/ू, े/ै, ो/ौ) and a suggested plan
• 20 dictation tests on 10 student answer sheets (two tests per page), each with 10 numbered Hindi writing lines, a tick box per answer, a Date line and a Score: __/10 box
• Test 1: two-letter words with no matra (such as घर, जल, फल) · Test 2: three-letter words with no matra (such as कमल, मटर, कलम)
• Tests 3–12: one test for each matra ा ि ी ु ू े ै ो ौ ं – every word contains that matra and no harder matra (for example नाक, किताब, मछली, गुलाब, भालू, केला, पैसा, तोता, नौका, पतंग)
• Tests 13–18: reviews (ा ि ी · ु ू · े ै · ो ौ ं) and two mixed reviews with all matras
• Tests 19–20: five short sentences each (such as आसमान नीला है।), marked out of 10
• 180 different dictation words – no word is repeated across the tests
• 2 picture-dictation pages: look at the picture and write the word (10 pictures each)
• Parent read-aloud lists for all 20 tests: every word in large Devanagari with transliteration and English meaning – also the answer key, plus picture-dictation answers
• A score tracker for all 20 tests and both picture pages, and an Imla Star certificate
