English Language Learning needs Parental Guidance and Support • Home support – provide English language reading materials at home. • Activate child’s interest – show your child that you believe learning English is both enjoyable and useful in your daily life. • Role models – read and write notes and messages in front of your child. • Understanding – English language learning requires frequent exposure to listening, speaking, reading and writing opportunities and activities rather than use of worksheets alone. 19
How to stimulate the love for the English Language… • Go to the library together • Have lots of books, magazines and newspapers in your home • Give your child books about their special interests • Allow your child to choose books to read and reread • Read to and with your child (or, have your child read to you) • Talk about the books and characters in books 20
Some language activities you can try with your child… • Playing language games like word scavenger hunt. (Looking for a word in print materials.) • Reading aloud a book and asking your child to identify words beginning with the same sound, for example , ‘p’ – pancake, pick, put, police, pat, etc. • Helping your child learn more interesting words by thinking of new words to replace known words, for example , ‘big’ – huge, enormous, large, gigantic, etc. • Getting your child to retell a story to you in his or her own words • Suggesting that your child give a different ending to the story 21
Recommended Literature • Clear print and colourful, attractive illustrations or photographs • Features a strong storyline and interesting characters • Highlights magazine (complimentary copy) • Subscription Form will be available next week, through your child 22
