Punjab State Syllabus (PSEB) — English, and General English at 11 and 12

Class 12 English — Punjab PSEB

Follows A Rainbow of English for 12 — General English, Class XII (Punjab School Education Board, Prescribed for 2026-27)

A full board-year of General English for Class 12 on the Punjab state syllabus, following A Rainbow of English for 12: the eight lessons for intensive study, all seven poems, and the six lessons for extensive study. The grammar the board sets — determiners, non-finites, transformation of sentences, voice and narration — and the five composition formats, including precis writing and letters to editors, are taught inside the lessons. Each unit runs over three short days: the lesson, then a sheet marked at once, then a recall round. 66 daily sessions of 10–15 minutes.

Start Day 1

66 days, in the book’s own order

Every lesson in the textbook is taught over three short days rather than one long sitting — because ten minutes is a thing a child does on a bus, and forty is a thing somebody has to make them do.

Learn

What the lesson is about and the grammar it carries. About 15 minutes.

Practise

Worked examples, then a sheet marked the moment you submit it. About 15 minutes.

Recall

Read aloud, three things to remember, and questions from earlier units. About 10 minutes.

Every third day is a recall day, and it deliberately asks about lessons from one, three and seven units ago rather than the one just finished. Getting those wrong is the point — a thing you have to reach for is a thing you still have in March.
