🌱 Beginner English: Building a Strong Foundation
Why a Strong Foundation Matters
Learning English at a beginner level is like laying the first bricks of a house.
When children master essential vocabulary, basic sentence structures,
and simple conversations, they build the confidence to speak, read, and write fluently.
👣 Steps for Children to Learn Beginner English
- Start with Core Vocabulary: greetings, family, numbers, colors, etc.
- Learn Basic Sentence Structures: “This is a pen.”, “I like ___.”
- Practice Speaking Daily: speak in front of mirror, talk to friends/family.
- Listen and Repeat: rhymes, cartoons, YouTube kids’ stories.
- Read Simple English Books: picture books with big fonts.
- Use Visual Aids: flashcards, posters, item labels.
