English is probably the most important subject that your child studies at school. Without knowing it your child will not be capable to communicate with his English peers. She would be shut off from education and other people in this country. High brain activity appears to be if you know many foreign languages. This happens because with the help of words we build out thoughts and it has been estimated that people who know many languages live longer. So, how can you help to improve your child's English, whether it is a first or additional language? There are a lot of things you can do, not being a child education expert.
How to Help a Pre-School Child
Note: of these suggestions are expensive or complicated. Every one from them needs to be carefully considered. One or two of these activities a week will really help a child get better at English, in a very undemanding way.
• Surround your child with books almost from birth. Heavy-duty books for children are widely available, even from supermarkets. Children soon learn that books are interesting objects. They are brightly colored and good to chew! They will then begin to turn pages and explore the pictures.
• Read stories to your child even if you think that she won't understand. Reading gives you the chance to communicate with your child. As she begins to communicate with you, ask your child to point to favorite images on the page and talk about them.
• Your child is never too young to join the local library. There are lots of specialized library for small children.
• The first thing your child can 'read' will probably be her name (or its first letter). Develop child by using this letter. It could be on a car registration plate, on a street sign, even on an inspection cover in the street. Son you will find yourself explaining the child other letters.
• When your child starts to take an interest in letters, play 'I spy', as in: 'I spy with my little eye, something beginning with L - Light!'
• Show your child the initial letters of other members of the family and, when the post is delivered, see if she can work out who each item of mail is for.
• Let your child cut up headlines from old magazines and newspapers and stick the same letters on pages of a scrapbook. (One page for A, one for B, etc.) Then, find pictures of things that begin with that letter and stick them on as well.
• Different website contains some fun and educational games for young children.
Note: This advice does not aim to solve any problem your child may have with a particular area of English. In certain situations you should address your child’s teachers to be assisted. Try not to be too demanding of your child, though - you don't want to turn her off English for good!
