Q. Is there any scope for improvement ? 

Ans. Yes, there is a good scope for improvement. 

Suggestions: 

1. To avoid the use of food items in preparing a TLM, instead of using cumin seeds (jeera), you can use anything (like ball bearings) that will produce an audible output for preparing the dice. 

2. You can also place the reference sheet that will be used by the kids to understand the tactile markings on the left hand side of the chart.
