HOW YOU CAN HELP

Your support and encouragement is crucial for your child’s success in every subject.  

Here are some ideas of how you can help your child:

• Take an interest in their English homework.
• Greet them in English sometimes. 
• Look up the lyrics for their favourite English pop song on the Internet, so they can sing along. 
• Read books in English together. 
• Point out examples of English in the world around you – adverts, films, Internet. This will show them that learning another language is exciting and relevant to our world today.     
• Explore together some English websites on topics that interest them, and play games together. The Internet provides a wealth of good educational sites in English with activities, puzzles and interesting information.
• Get them to show you cut-outs or projects they have made in their English class.
• Each level comes with a MultiROM that includes all the course songs. You can join in listening and singing the songs with your child – at home, in the car. 
• And if you have a computer, you can spend some time playing the stories and games on the MultiROM. These allow children to practise further what they are learning.
