English, class 6

These are three independent anthologies on three curriculum bases, and the cell is confounded: Punjab is SNC-2022, Sindh and KP are National Curriculum 2006 reprints, so this is Punjab's current reader against the readers Sindh and KP are currently printing. Punjab's twelve units print their SNC theme labels on the contents page (PAGE 2), so the quota is legible before a word is read; it opens religious with Seerat-un-Nabi and Eid ul Fitr (A1 4) and scores A5 5 — the corpus maximum — because Unit 4 is Major Shabbir Sharif Shaheed, Unit 11 is A Poem by a Soldier, and Rashid Minhas Shaheed is the model essay used to teach essay structure (PAGE 120), with "I want to be a soldier when I grow up... Pakistan Army is the best army in the world" (PAGE 44). Sindh's "My English Book 6" is six competency-titled units on a fixed six-part spine ending in a Fun section, carries zero religious selections (A1 2) and no martial content (A5 1), and its Unit 5, Knowing Children from Other Nations, gives first-person diaries from Brazil, Ghana and Thailand — the most globally oriented unit in the corpus. KP's twenty-lesson 2006 reader opens with a Prophet lesson (A1 3) but contains the corpus's only named non-Muslim Pakistani child protagonist: "My name is Vikram Singh... I am a Sikh and a proud Pakhtun Pakistani" (p.173), with the class then asked to fill in his form, including "Religion:", and write about him. KP also runs a seven-page Democracy lesson naming the National Assembly, Senate and the five-year cycle (pp.50–56), which is why its A2 is 3 against Punjab's 4 and Sindh's 5. At eleven years old a Punjabi child is taught to admire a dead soldier, a Sindhi child to read a diary from Ghana, and a KP child to fill in a Sikh classmate's form.
