Lessons for Kids
LESSONS CAN BE ADAPTED FOR YOUR CHILD'S NEEDS, AND USE LEVELLED MATERIALS (FROM A-Z). In the lesson plan below, it is assumed that the child is at the Beginner to Intermediate stage, but I can of course use more difficult material if required. (To test your child's English level, Cambridge can help, as can BrainPOP!)Introductions & Making Conversation

Phonics & Spelling
THERE ARE 44 sounds in the English language but only 26 letters to represent them. Phonics is a way to teach children how to learn different ways that these sounds can be spelt. For example, the letter "y" can have a "yǝ" sound at the beginning of a word, but an "ī" sound at the end of others (like "sky"). Alongside phonics, it is important for children to learn to recognize common words instantly, without needing to spell them out in the mind. These are called sight words, and include common words like "one" (wǝn) or "are". There are two cases of the English alphabet, making a total of 52 characters in all. Sentences always start with a capital letter. Short English vowels ([a], e, i, o, u, y): Starfall.Beginning Consonant Sounds ([b], [d]): Kizphonics.
Long English vowels: ([ī], [u:]): Kids vs Phonics.
Long vowels with a Silent "E" at the End of the Word: Starfall.

Grammar
AS NATIVE speakers children tend to acquire grammar organically (that is, all at once). They don't study nouns at one time, and articles at another. Rather they learn them both together... the article is connected to the noun (for example, the dog). Prepositions are also learned as extensions of verbs or nouns, too, without conscious awareness that they are discrete units. Teachers can accelerate the acquisition process by presenting material that is organic, but not too difficult. Every learner needs to start at the ... Me, Myself and I (Introduction to Pronouns)I Am
