ICSE 7th class help available now!

The students of the Sri Ram School took real interest in the recording they were about to do for CLABIL. They wanted to do work that will really be useful.

They made the extra effort of preparing this whole material so that there is no copyright infringement.

So, we are very proud and happy to share this - our first school level resource help - ICSE Class 7 content in English medium.

For Maths, click here.

For Science (Physics, Chemistry, Maths), click here.

These files are not yet available on the online library - www.braillecards.org/audio.php, because we have over 200 files waiting to be cataloged.

Yes, of course you can help. :)
