For Families

Families play an important role in language development. Here are a few ways to support your child at home:

* Read together for 10-15 minutes each day.

*Ask your child to tell you about their school day.

*Practice new English vocabulary together

*Encourage your child to speak, read and write in English.

*Keep using your home language too- strong skills in the first language can support English learning.

*Visit the library and choose books your child enjoys.
